From Labor to Reward: An Evening with Martha C. Taylor

San Francisco Theological Seminary 105 Seminary Road, San Anselmo, CA, United States

Join author Rev. Dr. Martha C. Taylor – who has served as both SFTS and GTU adjunct professor — for an evening discussing her newest book, From Labor to Reward. Thursday, February 23, 2017 | 7PM – 8:30 PM San Francisco Theological Seminary 101 Seminary Road Scott Hall room 101 San Anselmo, CA 94960 COMPLIMENTARY ADMISSION - REGISTER ONLINE This groundbreaking book fills a huge void in American religious history, black religious history, and traditions of the black church. Until now, no other book has chronicled the rich religious experiences of black church beginnings in the Bay Area. Martha C. Taylor provides penetrating insight into the early makings of the black church in the Bay Area.
