Sunday Brunch Revolutionary Texts Lecture Series

Many texts containing “revolutionary ideas” have shaped American history and identity, not just one.  Our Christian calling as citizens of this great country is to help Rejoice, Repair and Renew our national life. In a special Sunday Brunch Lectures series in honor of the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, thought-leading social historians and theologians will reflect on a range of radical texts that challenge, expand or declare unfulfilled the rights and aspirations set forth in the Declaration of Independence.

Registration is required for catering with a suggested donation of $25 for adults. The Revolutionary Texts Lecture Series continues this fall. Look for more information soon.
