About This Event

At the time, church leaders grappled with how scripture guided Christians on slavery, whether there was a moral imperative to act, or whether the issue was outside the church's purview all together. Presented by Steve Smits, a retired director of Central New York Developmental Disabilities Services Offices and president of the Town of Western Historical Society and sponsored by the Clinton Area Ministerium.
