Observance of the 175th Anniversary of the Abolition of Slavery in Connecticut at Christ Church Cathedral, Hartford

A liturgical observation at Christ Church Cathedral that creates sacred space and allows us to reflect on the sins of our past and the ways in which our faith calls us to seek justice, reconciliation, and repair.

As we commemorate the abolition of slavery in our state, we cannot ignore the fact that our forebears were complicit in a system that perpetuated grave injustice and suffering. It is a moment for us to repent and to recommit ourselves to the Gospel call of love, justice, and equality.
