from the Episcopal Peace Fellowship
Panel participants in All Souls Cathedral Library on Saturday, September 17 will be State Representative Ray Rapp (legislative schedule permitting), Dick Taylor (CEO of North Carolina Advocates for Justice and brother of Bishop Porter Taylor), Jean Parks (Western Carolinians for Death Penalty Repeal) and Ed Chapman (a death row exoneree). Sponsored by The Episcopal Peace Fellowship of Western North Carolina, the open discussion will be from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. Join us and bring your friends.
Capital punishment is the subject of increasing discussion today, partly because DNA testing is revealing just how many people sentenced to death were mistakenly convicted. One of our panelists spent 13 years on North Carolina’s Death Row before being released. But judicial error is not the only factor leading many states to consider repealing capital punishment.
There is no admission but there will be a free will offering to provide an honorarium. Simple refreshments will be available.
