Topic: Dutch Reformed Church History in Slavery
The speaker for our next meeting plans to join our discussion LIVE. Rev. Dr. Nathan Jérémie-Brink, PhD is L. Russell Feakes Assistant Professor of the History of Global Christianity at New Brunswick Theological Seminary, Co-Convener, Slavery + Freedom Studies Working Group, Center for Cultural Analysis at Rutgers University, and an ordained minister in the New Brunswick Presbytery of the PC-USA.
Installation of Nathan Jeremie-Brink, Ph.D. as Church History Chair (September 20, 2019) This program begins to uncover the role of Christianity, the Dutch Reformed Church and the RCA in the history of American slavery, in a way that is personal, relatable and not purely academic. 2. Nate invites us to pause his discussion to spend more time looking at embedded images/maps/quotes: 3. Considering our language about slavery, all words we “know to talk about enslaved people of African descent in these Americas prove insufficient, both for the brutality against them, and for their remarkable overcoming” (Dr. Laura Adderley), so referring to this document, "Writing About Slavery? Teaching About Slavery?” (Talking about Slavery?) will be helpful preparation for discussing this important topic. Then, join us for a group discussion on Sunday, January 31 at 7:00pm via Zoom
