Reverend Gary Brinn, pastor at the First Congregational Church of Blue Hill, will present a talk, From Horeb to Blue Hill, at the Blue Hill Public Library on Thursday, September 7th at 7:00 PM. The presentation will be a whirlwind look at the Judeo-Christian trajectory from the ancient Hebrew faith to Jonathan Fishers Congregationalism and on to the United Church of Christ, the modern denomination that includes the Congregational tradition.

Part history, and part constructive theology, according to Reverend Brinn, it will be sure to rattle some cages. He says that this talk will help locate this very New England tradition of Congregationalism, as well as the modern United Church of Christ in a landscape of Judaism and Christianity.

A second career minister, Rev. Brinn double-majored in Medieval to Renaissance British Literature and Studio Art before completing his Master of Divinity degree at Harvard. The presentation is free and open to everyone. For more information contact the library at 374-5515.
