Sermon to take cues from one given in 1776
GREENFIELD — The Aug. 28 sermon will have a historic feel at Curry’s Chapel Church.
Rich Bailey, the church’s pastor, will give a sermon in the style of John Witherspoon, president of the College of New Jersey. On May 17, 1776, he preached a sermon titled “The Dominion of Providence over the Passions of Men.” Some have seen it as the sermon that helped launch the American Revolution.
Bailey will present the sermon in the first person of John Witherspoon while dressed in the style of the Black Robed Regiment. Similar in style to the topic of the original sermon, “this will focus on taking back ground and standing firm against those who today wish to destroy this country,” Bailey wrote in an email.
The service begins at 10:30 a.m. at the church, 3488 N. County Road 375E, Greenfield.
