The Witness of the Church in a Time of National Crisis

On June 3, Christ the King Anglican, Alexandria, VA, hosted a webinar, 'The Witness of the Church in a Time of National Crisis.' They offered it as an opportunity to listen and learn. You may find a link to the presentation here.

Albert Thompson spoke on the “Witness of the Church in a Time of National Crisis.” Albert is a historian, writing his doctoral dissertation on the influence of the New Deal and WWII on Jim Crow and race in America. His presentation on race and America is a clear, sobering, thoughtful and ultimately, hopeful consideration of this important subject. He has provided book recommendations here, as well as notes on the example of MLK and on Critical Race Theory.
