April 27: The Church and Slavery

On Sunday, April 27, we welcome Van Hillard who will discuss the role of the Christian Church in slavery. He will explain how passages in the Bible were used to both justify and further slavery, as well as to ultimately condemn slavery. Professor Hillard retired in 2022 after teaching writing and rhetoric for forty-five years, fifteen of those at Davidson College, where he served as the founding director of its Writing Program. Professor Hillard's presentation has been planned by the St. Alban's Anti-Racism Team (StAART) and is open to all. (Parish Hall)

*There will be no Adult Formation on Easter Sunday, April 20.

BIBLE STUDY

This is a wonderful way to deepen your faith and understanding of the Bible. No RSVPs or advanced reading is needed--just drop in when you can.
