Adult Forum: Learning about the life of Charles Henry Brent with parishioner Geoff Hurd

Charles Henry Brent was a priest and bishop in the Episcopal Church. His life was a “Forest Gump-like” adventure, taking him all over the world and meeting and working with some of the most heralded people of his era. He ministered in the black slums of Boston where his Bishop was Phillips Brooks. He was the first Episcopal Missionary Bishop of the Philippines where he cooperated with American Governor William Howard Taft. Brent was then made the Chief-of-Chaplains of the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe during World War I, serving under General John Pershing, whom he had earlier baptized. Brent is commemorated in the Episcopal Church’s Liturgical Calendar on March 27. Please join us as parishioner Geoff Hurd shares about this fascinating life story.
