The Nehemiah Project led the organizing of lectures to present denominational histories, to build connection, and to deepen understanding of participating congregations and denominations. Our recent Sunday School series led by David Sawyer was closely linked with this effort. Here is a link to an Edwards Lecture by Teresa Fry Brown through Louisville Seminary:

The Nehemiah Project was initiated by faculty of the Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary and its Black Church Studies program, it supports four geographic clusters of 13 primarily rural, historic black churches (HBCs) in Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio, plus one non-black congregational learning partner, CHPC. Guiding the goals of the project is the compelling and compassionate revival message from the Book of Nehemiah that encourages Christians to work together, shoulder to shoulder, to build a singular mission that reflects the purpose of God in our lives.
