DESCRIPTION:Monthly virtual discussion program.  Prereading/topic assigned each month.  For more information or to register, go to: https://gacc.retreatportal.com\nTOPIC – SAVING DEMOCRACY: In nearly every part of the world, democracy is in decline.

A recent report by the advocacy group Freedom House found that civil liberties were widely diminished for the eighteenth consecutive year and, according to the nonprofit advocacy group Protect Democracy, more than one-third of the world’s population currently reside in countries that are becoming less democratic. The United States is not immune from this disturbing trend.\n
