fights of an ex- slave

As Greek Orthodox, I am fascinated by Torchighters series. First, because, to my shame, the history of neoprotestant movements was, for ong time, unknown for me.

Second for the fair recreation of historical context of each character fights.

In the case of this episode, the things are more deicate, from the slavery and prejudices, to the price of freedom and the Chistian faith assumation as not exactly a fairy tale to the friendship and the sacrifice as root of solide premise for birth of African Metodist Church.

The essential virtue of series - the good feeling to not be pledge for specific confession but remind of assume of your faith.
