"Between a Rock and a Hard Place: The Gift and Challenge of Baptism"
 
For two millennia, Christians have understood baptism as the sacramental source of our identity and mission in Jesus Christ. In recent times, however, baptism has been misunderstood … as a perfunctory blessing of babies, an artifact of human institutions, or an exclusive marker of belonging. How do contemporary Christians respond to such challenges while claiming baptism as a gift of God’s overflowing grace?

William G. Foote Lecture Series

Organized in 1827, First Presbyterian Church began the Foote Lecture Series in 1995. The Foote Lecture Series invites noted
church leaders to Savannah each winter. The series recognizes Savannah merchant William G. Foote, who died in 1862 on the
island of Madeira. Foote’s generous will with a bequest to the church is found in the archives at the Chatham County Courthouse. His gift of $50,000 depreciated during the Civil War, but still enabled the church to pay largely for construction of its sanctuary on Monterey Square. The church subsequently moved to its present site in Ardsley Park in 1927.
