| About Father Moses Berry, our guest lecturer |
|
Fr. Moses Berry is President of the Brotherhood of St. Moses the Black and
founder of the Ozarks Afro-American Heritage Museum. Fr. Moses is a
descendent of frontier legend Daniel Boone through his son Nathan Boone and
Nathan's slave Marie Boone. At a moment of crisis as a young man, Fr. Moses
began a search for his religious heritage that took him from the
church of his youth to the Orthodox Christianity found throughout
Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and northern Africa.
An independent documentary,
God's Garden, is about the life of Fr. Moses Berry.
He talks about his family and slavery.
The video on the right is a five-minute trailer to the documentary, which is under production.
