Sermon: “A Religious Revolution”
Rev. Dr. Stephanie May

As some call today for a return to our roots as a Christian nation, we revisit our religious and political story as the founding congregation of Boston. How did First Church minister Charles Chauncey tell this story at the time of the American Revolution to support the cause of independence? After four centuries of entwined religious and political dynamics, what is at stake today for how we tell the story of our origins and our Revolution?

Bio: Rev. Dr. Stephanie May is Senior Minister of First Church in Boston. A lover of history and a scholar of religion, Rev. May enjoys serving the oldest congregation within the original city limits of Boston.

For Families: Children of all ages are always welcome in every service. Quiet activities are available in the rear of the chapel. Childcare and religious education classes resume in September.
