https://www.queens.edu/spirituallife/presbyterian-pluralist-week/As part of Presbyterian & Pluralist week (Feb. 5-10) Belk Chapel is delighted to welcome Rev. Gail Henderson-Belsito to offer a presentation, Thursday Feb. 9 (6-8 p.m.) on the theme, "Living In/To Hope".
As a Black woman in this country, with its brutal history of genocide, enslavement, and oppression, Rev. Gail Henderson-Belsito embraces and embodies the hope that empowered her ancestors to endure all that they endured for the sake of future generations. Her antecedents lived with an irrepressible hope for true liberation, if not for themselves, then for their children and their children's children. Despite the current political and social climate in our world, in our nation, in our city, in our faith communities, and even within ourselves as individuals, Gail remains convinced that, if we are to continue to make progress in the work of peace, liberation, and justice for all, we must exercise muscular hope. Drawing on her faith and her personal story, Gail invites deep reflection about the hope that has "brought us thus far on the way" and challenges us to live into the hope that will guide us forward into the future.
