When Gowan Pamphlet was ordained in 1772, he became the only ordained black preacher of any denomination in the colonies. Inspired by the Great Awakening, Pamphlet preached a message of equality before God during the Revolution. He followed his calling to build Williamsburg’s First Baptist Church, which continues to this day. Please join the Reverend Pamphlet, to discuss a celebrated day of the Christmastide season for many of his congregation: the traditional British holiday of Boxing Day HERE.
