Devotion with dessert on three Wednesday nights this summer, as we explore three of the lesser-known holy people included in the Episcopal Church’s Calendar. June 30: Isabel Florence Hapgood, July 28: Bartolomé de las Casas, and August 18: Moses the Black. Feel free to read the recommended reading beforehand (which will appear here, closer to the date), or simply join us for a summary and discussion. Or just come for the pie!

Prayer & Pie follows the regular Wednesday schedule of 6 PM Evening Prayer & 6:15 PM Holy Eucharist. 

Moses the Black (340-405) was an Ethiopian, and he was black of skin and therefore called “Murin” (meaning “like an Ethiopian”). Little is known of his actual life, but an imaginative collection of religious legends has accumulated about him. His faith and witness lives through these stories and points to his sincerity in living a life patterned after Christ.
