James Baldwin is best known as a novelist and essayist, but he grew up in the church, steeped in scripture, and was a celebrated preacher when he was young. Though he later criticized the church, it gave him his vision of the world.
Jarel Robinson-Brown will introduce his life and work, and explore how he can help us as Christians to broaden our horizons, to be more honest, more imaginative and challenge us to ask ourselves what kind of world we hope for.
The Revd Jarel Robinson-Brown is a Curate in the Diocese of London, Visiting Scholar at Sarum College, Salisbury, and Co-Chair of the LGBT+ Christian Charity OneBodyOneFaith.
