St. John the Divine, February 8
What an important event! Rev. Absalom Jones was the first Black priest ordained in the Episcopal Church and his groundbreaking ministry and leadership paved the way for a more diverse and inclusive priesthood. Born into slavery, Absalom Jones purchased his freedom and co-founded the first Black Episcopal congregation, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to faith, justice, and equality. His life and ministry inspire the Church’s ongoing work toward racial reconciliation and social justice. Please join us for this important and joyous celebration!
