The Anabaptist Heritage Association of Sarasota, Florida presents: Common Threads, a program of story and song that features Hesston College faculty members Tony Brown and John Sharp. They will give voice to Anabaptist martyrs and African American slaves by singing their hymns and telling their stories. It is an exploration of the way Anabaptist religious persecution and African American racial suffering have intersected. Both groups have suffered at the hands of legitimate governments and both found hope in the midst of pain and humiliation. The event is January 18, 6:00 p.m. at the Bahia Vista Mennonite Church and includes dinner.
