It recounts a prejudice supported by the Prudential Committee of the Church, with full support of the pastor, Rev. Edward Beecher. The article also includes some more hopeful signs of change in the church, but the writer is clearly skeptical, wondering, in part, how a &#8220;Christian&#8221; Anti-Slavery meeting differs from any
