Rev. Dr. Kazimierz Bem
The history of Congregational Home Missions still awaits its historian. One of their least known fields of work was the outreach to Polish immigrants in US cities. Inspired by both 19th century missionary zeal and social gospel they were surprisingly successful and perhaps because of that quickly forgotten. Join us for lunch to hear Rev. Dr. Bem talk about his research into this important topic and his experiences working in the Congregational Library and Archives and other libraries.
The event is free to attend, but tickets are limited and registration is required by Tuesday, March 28th via Eventbrite.
