"Bearing the Cross”

This Monday, July 13th, members of Saint Andrew’s and All Saints’ will gather at 6pm at Saint Mark's Episcopal Church (228 Dennison Ave SW, Birmingham, AL 35211) for a discussion of the late theologian Dr. James Cone's The Cross and the Lynching Tree (2011), a meditation on the historical, symbolic, and spiritual connections between the cross on which Jesus died and the "lynching tree" on which thousands of Black Americans were murdered.

This week, we will discuss Chapter 3: "Bearing the Cross & Staring Down the Lynching Tree: Martin Luther King Jr.'s Struggle to Redeem the Soul of America.”

Copies of the reading are available upon request!
