Mission, Race, and Empire Class

April 16, 23, and 30 @10:15a in the Parish Hall or on Zoom (click here).

Dr. Jennifer Snow, Associate Professor of Practical Theology at CDSP, will give a series of three talks on the history of the Episcopal Church in the context of Mission, Race, and Empire, drawn from her forthcoming book from Oxford University Press. The talks will draw from the complex interactions of the church’s mission and identity with the British Empire and the expansion of the United States through indigenous lands; the history of enslavement, emancipation, and Civil Rights; the development of a theology of “welcome” and inclusion in the 20th century; and contemporary debates, conflicts, and uncertainty about the church and its mission in the modern world.
