Spiritual book discussion group to meet “Not by Bread Alone,” a spiritual book discussion group will meet on Sunday, Sept. 20 at 5 p.m., at Panera Bread, 1300 State Route 17 in Ramsey. This month’s selection is Graham Greene’s “The Power and the Glory.” The novel portrays a vicious persecution of the clergy in Mexico, where a worldly priest is on the run. With the police closing in, his routes of escape are being shut off, but compassion and humanity force him along the road to his destiny, reluctant to abandon those who need him. Participants are urged to read the book before attending the meeting. Copies are available from the local library system and bookstores. Sponsored by the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Mahwah, the group aims to explore novels and other literary works with spiritual meaning in a relaxed atmosphere.
