Theodore Parker, the Great American Preacher


born August 24, 1810 - Lexington, Massachusetts.
died May 10, 1860 - Florence Italy.


Lest we forget, both the Parker birth bicentennial and the Parker death sesquicentennial are coming up next summer. Might make for an interesting opportunity to reassess the impact his inspiration and influence have had on our movement. But until then, enjoy these:
