Last February I posted a month-long series laying out some of the documentation of the very long Christian struggle against slavery, beginning with the very early figures such as Saint Macrina the Younger and her brother, the great theologian Gregory of Nyssa and into the period of official abolition of slavery.   

I don't have the time to do that, this year so I will repost some of the posts I did last year.   I think that buried and suppressed history and the documents that support it stand a second reading.   I might supplement that with other material I haven't posted before.
