This week at BBUUC….

Feb. 2: Rev. Harry Parrott presents “America’s Religious Experiment”

America’s greatest gift to the world was the audacious decision to break the centuries-old tradition of territorial religion.  How did this bold decision come about?  Can this experiment endure in face of continual opposition?

 Presented by: Rev. Harry Parrott ● Led by: Kris kines ● Accompanied by: Eileen Morrison
