Let's get ready to party! This week, in the debut episode of In Fellowship, Anna and Ellen discuss building community through celebrations in Chapter 1, A Long-Expected Party. Tune in for thoughts on Bilbo's shade-throwing abilities and the podcast's very first take home assignment. Our theme next week is community through storytelling.

Book 1 Chpt. 2: The Shadow of the Past (Storytelling)

Fandoms (communities) spring up around cherished movies, books, and more, but what can the subject matter itself teach us about building lasting relationships? Join sisters Anna and Ellen for a chapter by chapter reading of The Lord of the Rings, where they’ll examine this famous example of Fellowship, and look for the lessons in community-building to be found in one of the most beloved series of all time.
