The Cross and the Lynching Tree
A Requieum for Ahmaud Arbery – Webinar
Sunday, May 31, 3PM
Hi Visitors and Members,
I thought you’d be especially interested in this upcoming webinar on dismantling racism, in light of the recent murders of Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd. The reflections are based upon the writings of late great
American theologian, specializing in black liberation theology, Dr James Cone, from Union Theological seminary. In his book, The Cross and the Lynching Tree, Cone draws connections between the means of execution of the innocent Jesus 2,000 years ago and the ongoing executions of innocent black men in this country. Please share widely!! I’ve registered! I loved Dr Cone, and loved his courses in Black Liberation and womanist theology.
The Cross and the Lynching Tree. Join a national conversation sponsored by the United Church of Christ about how Christians can be actively involved in dismantling racism. Learn more about the webinar HERE. Register for the webinar here.
Peace to you,
Pastor Laurie
