The life of Presbyterian minister Jonathan Clarkson Gibbs II (1821–1874) challenges the false dichotomy between conservative Presbyterianism and social justice activism.
Thank you, Anthony. For another interesting piece of history. Do you know *By the Rivers of Water *, by Erskine Clarke?
—in a word: about a couple, pre civil war planter class missionaries from South Carolina, who went to Western Africa. This alongside the little known movement of colonization of the W. African region by freed enslaved people from America. The end has a surprising and discouraging twist- a glimpse of the complexity of the Southern culture of that time.
This is a timely challenge for Presbyterians today. Thanks.
