PMA Book Club - Black History Month
This February, our PMA community is invited to embark on a powerful journey by reading Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, written by Frederick Douglass himself. The Book Club will be led by Dr. Rachel Atkins.
Born into slavery in 1818, Douglass provides a profound autobiographical account that stands as one of the most influential narratives in American history. It's more than just a historical record; it's a testament to the power of hope, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of freedom.
A Focus on Faith & Justice
As a community striving to follow Christ and pursue justice in our city, this book offers a unique opportunity for reflection. A central theme in Douglass's work is the piercing contrast between "true Christianity" and the distorted "slaveholding Christianity" of his era. We will explore:
What does "true Christianity" look like in the face of systemic injustice?
How can Douglass's prophetic voice guide our actions today?
How We Will Connect
We have designed a flexible and engaging experience for everyone:
Flexible Participation: Join us online via a dedicated WhatsApp group.
Weekly Rhythm: A manageable reading schedule of 3 chapters per week throughout February.
Shared Reflections: Engage in meaningful discussions, pose questions, and share insights within the WhatsApp group with weekly prompts to guide us.
Culminating Celebration: We will wrap up our shared experience with an in-person gathering during the first week of March to celebrate our learning journey and reflections.
Book Version
Any version of the book can be read — please purchase, borrow, or download your own copy.
