Announcements, Announcements, Announcements!

Dear friends and readers of The ChesterBelloc Mandate,

For our readers in the Ohio area, Sebastian's Church, Akron, will be hosting a performance of "Old Thunder: An Afternoon with Hilaire Belloc", a one-man show featuring Kevin O'Brien, founder of Theater of the Word, on Sunday, March 15th at 1 p.m. in Zwisler Hall. The program is free and open to the public; a free-will offering will be taken. Come and meet Catholic historian and poet Hilaire Belloc, who lived in England from 1870-1953. "Old Thunder" provides a stirring presentation, which includes Belloc's prophetic take on modern society and culture. [St. Sebastian's Church, Zwisler Hall, 476 Mull Avenue Akron, OH]

We wish to remind everyone to please register if you have not already done so for the upcoming conference, "Catholicism and Economics," hosted and sponsored by the Nassau Community College Center for Catholic Studes. The school has received a lot of registrants from the distributist camp, so please make sure to register and support our efforts.

Many surprises are in store for readers of The Distributist Review and The ChesterBelloc Mandate in the upcoming months. Of course, as things materialize, we will make the appropriate announcements, but it may suffice to give our readers a hint. "Bye-bye Google"

For now, we bring you the first in a series of pamphlets, brochures, and other printable distributist materials, which will be used for the event mentioned. We begin with John Médaille's "An Introduction to Distributism." We welcome our readers to print, copy, distribute, or simply place the following on their websites.
