Epiphany Preaching Series, February 4: Brinell Anderson & Lydia López

On Sunday, February 4 we continue our first-ever Epiphany Preaching Series — “A Season of Wisdom and Revelation:”

At All Saints Church we are committed to dismantling the structures of patriarchy and white supremacy that enslave us all. An important step in that direction is centering the voices of women and people of color and following their wisdom and leadership. That is why we are declaring Epiphany, 2018 “A Season of Wisdom and Revelation” where we will only have women of color in our pulpit on Sunday mornings — January 7 – February 11 — and we will be shaped and led by the Gospel they preach.

This week we are delighted to welcome the pulpit:
