With the Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War and Emancipation in mind, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church announces that “Truth and Reconciliation” is the theme of the 2011 Lenten Preaching Series (Weekdays, Mar. 9 – Apr. 20). This year’s program was developed with a nod to the ongoing work of Ed Ayers and others in “The Future of Richmond’s Past” initiative and inspired by the Truth & Reconciliation Commission in South Africa.
This annual St. Paul’s Lenten program features preaching and lunch downtown on weekdays beginning Ash Wednesday (Mar. 9) and continuing through Wednesday of Holy Week (Apr. 20). The ministry attracts thousands of Richmonders of all faith backgrounds to the church and the lunch offering involves over 465 volunteers from more than 80 area churches.
