Dr. Baron Mullis will lead a midweek lunchtime Bible study. These weekly “Bible Breaks with Baron,” held on Tuesdays at 12:15, are short (~30 minute) lessons on some of the Biblical texts that have been used to marginalize people through the years.  These studies are background learning for a revised program on unconscious bias that we will offer later this fall.

Howard Thurman tells the story that his grandmother never wanted to hear anything read from the Bible from the Apostle Paul, because the slave owner’s pastor always preached on those passages.  Yet, the enslavement of people has been viewed morally wrong by Christians since well before the Emancipation Proclamation.  How could the church support slavery in the past?

These Bible studies will be held via Zoom; registration is required. Register below:
