 Some of the best impulses for social reform in America's history have come from awakenings. The anti-slavery movement in America was mainly a part of the reform movement generated by the Second Great Awakening, as were movements for prison reform, child labor laws, women's rights, inner-city missions, and many more. - Christian History, no. 23
The theme of our 2013 presbytery meetings is
"Revival." In keeping with that theme,
Tuesday Connect is running "Revival Thoughts"
on a weekly basis. |
