Welcome | Pastoral Interns
Every summer and academic year we welcome into our life together students from Duke Divinity school who join us to learn, grow, and teach as they pursue a call to ministry.
This year we welcome for the first time, Emma Rankin, and we welcome back Angie Hong and Mac Albergotti.
Join us for Worship and Church Chat on Sunday to say welcome.
In the meantime, you can read their introductions online.

Anti-Racism | Spotlight
Blood Done Sign My Name
Live on Zoom | NC Stage Company
Henry “Dickie” Marrow, a 23-year-old U.S. Army veteran whose wife was pregnant with their third daughter, was beaten down and shot to death in the street by Robert Teel, Teel’s 18-year-old son Larry, and Roger Oakley, Teel’s 21-year-old stepson, for allegedly making a remark to Larry Teel’s wife. Despite testimony by two black eyewitnesses, the men were acquitted of the crime by an all-white jury. Roger Oakley, Teel’s stepson, actually confessed to shooting the gun but was never indicted. But it was the Teels’ acquittal for their hotheaded hate crime that launched the city of Oxford, North Carolina into a season of violent reprisals.
Performed live on zoom Sep. 10th thru Sep. 27th.
