You probably need a Google account. Your email will be public if you post but otherwise it will not be visible to anyone. There will be no Zoom or Google Hangout, it will purely be over text email. You should read the chapter before the date it is listed. Discussion starter Each weekend, one person will send out an email to start discussion. It can be as short as a paragraph or two just to get discussion going. Anyone else can chime in afterward. It's most fun if this discussion starter doesn't summarize the chapter but tells a bit about themselves, their background, and what resonated or was confusing in the chapter, or how it tied back to something they experienced in the real-world.
