You are invited to a conversation on William Yoo's book What Kind of Christianity: A History of Slavery and Anti-Black Racism in the Presbyterian Church. Published by Westminster John Knox Press, the book received a very favorable review in the Journal of Presbyterian History. The discussion will held on four consecutive Wednesdays April 17 to May 8 from 10:30 AM to Noon. Emory University Professor Dr. Kwok Pui-Lan says “this timely book... is indispensable for understanding America's painful past... and imagining a different, possible future.” The author is a Professor at Columbia Theological Seminary in Georgia, and is also the author of The Presbyterian Experience in the United States: A Sourcebook. The discussions will be led by the Rev. Richard Taylor, former Chair of the Historical Council of the United Church of Christ, and the author of thirteen books on American Church history, including two that focus on the interaction between Congregationalists and Presbyterians. Books may be ordered from the publisher (check out their website at www.pcusastore.com/history) at a discount price of $ 19.50 plus shipping.

This session will cover pages 53 to 102 in the book.
