Join us for a wrap-up and to look ahead as the Congregation closes out the Episcopal NY Reads One Book program on Kendi’s “How to Be an Antiracist.” We will begin with thoughts/reactions to Kendi’s talk (Oct. 22nd) and the program more generally, including the inter-parish discussion. Then, we will solicit ideas for future antiracist activities to pass on to the Clergy and CSS lay leaders. 

Coming Soon: Deacon Paul Daniels, II is planning a series of discussions on Howard Thurman.

“The basic fact is that Christianity as it was born in the mind of this Jewish thinker and teacher appears as a technique of survival for the oppressed. That it became, through the intervening years, a religion of the powerful and the dominant, used sometimes as an instrument of oppression, must not tempt us into believing that it was thus in the mind and life of Jesus. ‘In him was life; and the life was the light of men.’ Wherever his spirit appears, the oppressed gather fresh courage; for he announced the good news that fear, hypocrisy, and hatred, the three hounds of hell that track the trail of the disinherited, need have no dominion over them.” Jesus and The Disinherited, Howard Thurman
