Went to a PC(USA) geek event today at New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. I say geek event, because really, only church polity geeks go to forums of moderator candidates on such a beautiful spring day. But I am what I am, and I love meeting up with other polity geeks like me. You know who you are . . .

I knew that NYAPC was Abe Lincoln’s church. But I did not know they had an original copy of his draft of the Emancipation Proclamation on display in their basement/Lincoln Parlor. Very cool. Very inspiring. This draft included reparations. See below and be inspired. I was.
