Father Brandt Montgomery, Chaplain of Saint James School in Hagerstown, Maryland and Vicar of Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church in Boonsboro, Maryland, will explore the incarnational theology of Martin Luther King, Jr. to show how it formed much of the foundation of his civil rights philosophy. For King, God becoming human in the Person of Jesus was to show all of humanity how to live and love as humans in community. The Incarnation conveys all the lengths, widths, breadths, and heights Jesus will go to redeem humanity, disregarding every divisive distinction in bringing about God’s Beloved Community.

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.
