Bay State Road: After Twenty Years - Paperback

by Robert Allan Hill (Author)

Bay State Road is a collection of sermons offered during the twenty years of Robert Allan Hill's deanship at Boston University's Marsh Chapel. Some sermons reflect on milestones, such as the first time Hill preached at Marsh Chapel as its dean, his 2023 university baccalaureate address, and a remembrance of the grief following the 2013 bombing of the Boston Marathon. But most were preached on "regular" Sundays, whose very ordinariness is the canvas on which the extraordinary is made visible. This volume contributes to the 2025 celebration of Marsh Chapel's seventy-fifth anniversary, which honors the chapel's historic legacy while readying the chapel for the seventy-five years ahead.
