From Good News in the Garden State: "The Reparations Commission of the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey offers a special worship and reflection service for the entire diocese to bring awareness of the call for Reparations for the legacy of slavery. In the context of Scripture, prayer, and song, we’ll hear stories of Colonial Era participation in enslavement by clergy and lay leaders in Anglican parishes that are now part of the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey. Please spend part of your weekend at Stations of Reparations as part of your observance of Lent. This family event is hosted by St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 33 Throckmorton Street, Freehold this Saturday, March 25th at 11:00 AM. The service will also be live-streamed on YouTube at St. Peter’s Church Freehold. The idea for a Liturgy of Stations for Reparations emerged from the History Working Group of the Reparations Commission as they began to digest the complicity of Colonial Era Anglican Churches in enslavement. The Commission believes it is essential that these stories be told in many ways, including in the context of worship." - Text from the article contributed by Rev. Jack Zamboni.
