Three Little Birds: Talks at the Desk, Episode 3 - Season 2 (2023)

Welcome to Episode 3 of Talks at the Desk, season 2. We are again in he U.S. Virgin Islands and visiting several of the oldest Lutheran churches in the Western hemisphere.

We meet wise and courageous people of faith who remind us about sacred struggles of the past and the presence of God and ancestors today in the work that remains to be done.

African Descent Ministries of the ELCA celebrates Black History Month Talks at the Desk, a four-part video series that will explore diverse expressions of the church. A new video will premiere Wednesdays in February, 6:30pm MST, 5:30pm PST. Watch this and last year’s season videos on YouTube here.

The “Talks at the Desk” series continues to center the experiences of Black Lutherans. Episodes this season will explore community-driven environmental justice work in Milwaukee, the storytelling of elders from the Conference of International Black Lutherans, and historic learnings from the U.S. Virgin Islands.
