Dear Friends at Christ Church,


Though I am away recovering from a wrist injury, my heart is very much with you — especially during this most sacred season of Holy Week.


I am healing well and counting the days until I can return to making music with you again. Until then, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.



Warmly,

Suzanne

The Tuesdayers' Next Book: "Anglican Slavery in New Jersey: An Initial Accounting"

Author Jolyon G. R. Pruszinski is the historian for the Diocese of NJ Reparations Commission. His book reveals the church’s significant and often troubling role in supporting and sustaining slavery in New Jersey. It traces how White Anglicans and Episcopalians participated in and defended the institution, while Black Episcopalians faced marginalization and injustice within the church. Pruszinski invites us into a process of honest reckoning, calling the church toward repentance and meaningful repair today. The Tuesdayers invite you to join our discussions beginning April 7. We meet on Tuesdays (except the second Tuesday of each month) from 7:00–8:30 pm via Zoom. For more information, contact Jonathan Clark at im4canoes@yahoo.com. An alternative is to discuss the book with the author on Thursdays, starting April 16. For more on this option go to dionj-racialjusticereview.blogspot.com.

Friends, please join us as we gather on the first

Monday of each month for a prayerful way to end our day.
