Vermont Election Sermons”

For 60 years, the best preachers of Vermont gave their best sermons on the day of General Election. Lawyer/historian Paul Gillies will examine the sermons and the ministers who gave them against the backdrop of Vermont’s struggle for statehood, through two wars, and the rising social movements of the era, including temperance, abolition of slavery, and the official support of religion. Paul has spoken at the Homestead previously, and he was well received.
