This talk is part of the 2024 Bicentennial Historical Lectures and is led by the Rev. Dr. Brandt Montgomery, Vicar of Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church in Boonsboro, Maryland.
In his 2001 history of Saint Thomas Church, J. Robert Wright notes how Frederick Myers Morris, the Tenth Rector from 1954 until 1972, showed great concern and support for the Episcopal Church’s engagement in the Civil Rights Movement. In this talk, Father Brandt Montgomery will offer a more in-depth historical report on Morris’s civil rights sympathies, exploring aspects of his background and theological thought that informed his advocacy for the Civil Rights Movement. Morris’s civil rights advocacy and responsible discipleship paved the way for Saint Thomas Church being today the house of prayer it is for all people.
The Adult Education program at Saint Thomas Church offers sound Christian teaching presented with intellectual vigor, teaching that is grounded in Holy Scripture, mediated by the catholic tradition that is the inheritance of Anglicanism and set forth in the Book of Common Prayer. For more information about our theology program and to receive links for weekly Sunday Theology Talks, please contact Fr. Gioia.
