What's Happening
Richard Cellini of the Georgetown Memory Project told Dumbarton's adult ed that the Jesuit-run univerwity sold hundreds of its slaves in the early 1800s to raise money. Cellini said that most of the slaves ended up at sugar planatations in Louisiana. He and other researchers have been finding out what happened tto the slaves and have ben interviing descendants.
Our church wasn't available, but we were able to hold Easter services anyway over Zoom, the videoconferencing site. At least 77 people attended online, from a far away as Germany, watching Mary Kay Totty's sermon, Melany Burrill's children story, A.J. Welch playing the music and Mittie Quinn as liturgist (left). For communion, we asked participants online to have bread or other food and wine, grape juice or other liquid, to take part. Chris is risen, Indeed!
