History Lecture: Our Origins

History Lecture: Our Origins

If you had to miss last Sunday's lecture by parishioner Hadley Miller, you can view the lecture and slideshow by clicking the button below. It was a fascinating follow-up to our opening lecture by Jim Boulden of the Popham family, and we're so fortunate to have so many talented historians in our parish, like Hadley. Our next Anniversary Lecture will be on November 3, with Russell Crane presenting on the 1860s-1880s. More information coming soon.
