Jonathan Daniels Celebration

On August 13 and 14, 2005, St. James Celebrated Jonathan Daniels with a program on the 13th by the NH Anti-Racism Committee which included a panel discussion of the civil rights era. This included a portrait of Jonathan Daniels by The Rev. Judith Upham, who was Jon's traveling companion in the south, Bob Perry, who was a boyhood friend of Jon's, and The Rev. Canon Ed Rodman, who was a founding member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.

On Saturday evening, The Rt. Rev. Steven Charleston, Dean of EDS spoke on the theme of Reconciliation.

On Sunday morning, the 9 AM service, Bishop Charleston was the preacher and Bishop Gene Robinson was celebrant.

The culmination of the weekend was a two mile march in Jonathan's honor, to his graveside. Rev. Coffin, Bishop Robinson, Bishop Charleston, and Bishop Hart, in addition to clergy from Keene, and those participating, prayed and sang. Memorial stones were left by Jonathan's grave.
