In-person General Audience

The Rev. Racquel Gill, Duke Chapel's minister for intercultural engagement, will host a conversation with the Rev. Dr. Fatimah Salleh about Salleh's new book "Love Memory: A Memoir and a Practice."

In "Love Memory," Salleh describes finding love abundant in the exceptional moments of the every day and offers a splattering of her love stories. She shares what can be gathered from her own love memories and what that love beckons from her in turn. The part of the book about practice shows how love memory works, both within the writer herself and within her beloved community.

The event is co-sponsored by the Duke Divinity's Women's Center and Office of Black Church Studies.
