As part of our Adult Christian Education program here at Saint Michael’s, we will gather in the St. Michael’s Davis Library on Friday, June 19, at 4:00 pm Pacific to view the livestream from Washington National Cathedral.
Guests are warmly invited, though not required, to bring a potluck hors d’oeuvre to share as we enjoy fellowship and conversation following the event.
The Rev. Raphael G. Warnock, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church and U.S. Senator from Georgia, returns to Washington National Cathedral for a powerful conversation on faith, democracy, and moral imagination. Together with Canon Theologian Kelly Brown Douglas and Canon Missioner Leonard L. Hamlin, they explore the urgent themes of Senator Warnock’s new book, The Crooked Places Made Straight, a prophetic call to reach for the highest and noblest aspects of our national character.
Speakers will examine six crises at the center of American life: voting rights and voter suppression, gun violence, mass incarceration, the persistence of poverty, dark money in politics and the climate emergency.
