Rocky Hill Congregational Church

Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove at Rocky Hill Congregational Church October 4: FREE
Nationally known author and activist Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove will speak on the ways religion has been manipulated to support an authoritarian political movement in the U.S. Oct. 4 at Rocky Hill Congregational Church.
All are welcome at this free event. No tickets are needed.
Wilson-Hartgrove, a prominent voice in today’s moral movements for justice and democracy, will address how communities can strengthen democracy rather than undermine it. 
Wilson-Hartgrove is co-author of the Substack “<a href="https://ourmoralmoment.substack.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Our Moral Moment</a>” with <a href="https://www.theologyandpolicy.yale.edu/bishop-william-j-barber-ii" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bishop William Barber</a>, author of 15 books, and is a highly sought-after speaker.
“We’re living through a moment when people are searching for clarity and courage,” said Rev. David Figliuzzi, RHCC’s pastor. “Jonathan’s work helps communities understand what’s happening and how we can respond in ways that build connection rather than deepen division.”
“This talk is for anyone – religious or non-religious – who is concerned that the U.S. is becoming more authoritarian, that democratic norms are eroding, and who want to know what they can do about it,” Figliuzzi said. 
Rocky Hill Congregational Church, which celebrates its 300th
anniversary in 2027, is a progressive United Church of Christ. The event reflects its ongoing commitment to actively working for justice in the community and beyond. 
Event Details Date: Friday, October 4 Time:
4:00 PM Location: Rocky Hill Congregational Church, 805 Old Main St., Rocky Hill Cost: Free and open to the public
