The Slave Cemetery at Corhaven

I’ve been waiting five years for this.  On the property of Corhaven, there is a slave cemetery dating from the mid-1800s.   While we’ve quietly and prayerfully tended it, it’s time to really honor our brothers and sisters who lay there.  This is no small feat, and one of great import historically, spiritually, and contemporarily.   Starting at 10am on Saturday, January 17  (fittingly on Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend) we are gathering those who want to be a part of helping us discover how to go about stewarding this hallowed ground, including discussion with a view to action, prayer, a walking tour to the site, and a showing of “12 Years A Slave” later in the afternoon.
