Abolitionist Chapel Today
- Starts: 12:30 pm on Sunday, December 10, 2017
- Ends: 2:00 pm on Sunday, December 10, 2017
Marsh Chapel is reaching out in conversation with individuals and groups at
Boston University and in the Massachusetts Abolitionist Network to raise
awareness, educate, and involve people directly against the crime of modern-day
slavery/human trafficking.
Modern-day slavery is the world’s second-largest criminal activity, involving
more than twenty-seven million people held in situations of forced labor/debt
bondage, sexual exploitation, child soldiering, and/or sale of body parts. At
least one million people live in slavery situations in this country alone, some of
them in Boston. The good news is that many exciting things are being done, in
Boston and around the world, to stop modern-day slavery/human trafficking.
For more information, to extend the conversation, or to join the monthly
research and program group, (all meetings with complimentary lunch) contact
the Rev. Victoria Hart Gaskell, Chapel Associate, at vgaskell@bu.edu.
