Day of Repentance

A Day of Repentance was held October 3 – 4, 2008, at The African Episcopal Church of St. Thomas in Philadelphia where the Episcopal Church publicly apologized for its involvement in the institution of Transatlantic Slavery, and its silence in the face of segregation and discrimination.

Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, respect the dignity of every human being?

Will you persevere in resisting evil and whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord?
