Announcements for Sunday, October 12 2025

 

Today we honor those who were kidnapped, shackled, cargoed, shipped out of Africa and sold into slavery in diasporas around the world. It is estimated that over a 100 million Africans lost their lives during that transport - that the ocean is lined with their remains - that they were relegated to a watery grave without benefit of ceremony, commemoration, ritual or consecration. This remains the most horrific human holocaust in the history of mankind. Because of this we remember them and never forget their sacrifices.
