A discussion group is forming based on the Rev. Adam Hamilton book, "Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White." The group will meet Tuesday evenings from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. beginning Oct. 9 and ending Nov. 6 at New Community United Methodist Church, 49223 Crane Valley Road (426).

Hamilton proposes that thinking persons of faith can model a better way by learning to engage in more thoughtful conversation about the political, moral and religious issues that divide us.

A DVD segment will be shown each week with a discussion to follow, led by New Community United Methodist Pastor Helen Mansfield.
