Join us for a special evening as the Book Club and the History & Archives Committee present Role in the Revolution: The Brick Church Story, a dynamic program inspired by an excerpt from Deane Turner’s A History of the Brick Presbyterian Church in the City of New York: A Fellowship of Kindred Minds. As our nation approaches its 250th anniversary, this event invites us to rediscover Brick Church’s remarkable role in the American Revolution and reflect on how our legacy shapes the future.

Watson Hall will be transformed into a welcoming space, part lecture hall and part pop-up exhibition, created especially to engage our neighborhood community, longtime members, and those new to our congregation. Together, we will explore the church’s Revolutionary-era contributions and consider how our history continues to inform our mission today.

Featuring Senior Minister Rev. Thomas Evans; Elder and historian Margaret Stocker; Dr. Charles Guth, Theologian in Residence; Dr. Amanda Bellows, author and United States historian; Dr. Kenneth Jackson, the Jacques Barzun Professor Emeritus of History at Columbia University; and Gracey Stoddard, Chair of the Brick Church Book Club.

Read Part One: Before the Revolution and Part Two: Revolution, Reconstruction and Regeneration (1776-1800) here.

A Vision for the Future: Rev. Evans will share reflections on Brick Church’s future, including insights from the 2033 Vision, framed within the church’s historic role during the Revolution.

Join us as we celebrate our storied past and look toward a vibrant future for The Brick Church community.
