Some of the material from Forum meetings, or that is sent to the Forum, represents incisive commentary on the world we live in, or the times we have lived through. In the past, some of the material was collected under the rubric, “Community Matters”. The opinions expressed in Commentary material are the author’s own and not necessarily those of the Forum.
Below are indexes of material from some Commentary authors. All of the material labeled “Commentary” on the website is listed under the “Community Affairs” title here.
