This is our regular monthly Forum and will feature an informative and perhaps provocative topic, "The Pakistan we barely knew." Jason Philbrick will briefly examine folk practices in Pakistan. You are almost guaranteed to learn something new about the people and country of Pakistan, a place we once called or still call "home."
There will be time for discussion.

This fun and interactive session will feature David Addleton and others sharing their recent return trips to Pakistan. David and his wife visited Pakistan from top to bottom -- from the Chinese border and Northern Areas TO Karachi and the Indian Ocean. Each participant (pilgrim) had a different reason for making their pilgrimage-like-trip. There will be time for questions. Perhaps others will be inspired to visit Pakistan.
