Preview of Making History: a conversation with Raphael G. Warnock

Since 2005, the Rev. Dr. Raphael G. Warnock has served as the Senior Pastor of the Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church, spiritual home of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and an ABC-affiliated congregation. In 2021, Dr. Warnock was elected to the U.S. Senate, the first person of color elected to that office from Georgia and only the eleventh African American U.S. Senator ever.

Listen in on Dr. Warnock sharing with ABHS Executive Director Priscilla Eppinger his views on Christian responsibility in a time of political and social division, and how a Baptist pastor honors the separation of church and state while serving in political office.

The ABHS Biennial Mission Summit event is open to all Biennial Mission Summit registrants.

The full conversation with Dr. Warnock will be streamed on Sunday, June 27, 8:00 p.m. EDT/5:00 p.m. PDT. Register for your spot at https://bit.ly/ABHS-Warnock_interview.
