Bowery Mission: Discussion and book signing

Join Jason Storbakken and The Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society in celebrating the release of Bowery Mission: Grit and Grace on Manhattan’s Oldest Street.

Storbakken, a recent Bowery director, retraces the colorful history of The Bowery Mission and profiles some of the illustrious characters that have made the Mission an iconic New York institution. His book offers a lens through which to better understand the changing faces of homelessness, of American Christianity, and of New York City itself – all of which converge daily at the Bowery Mission’s red doors.

A book signing will follow Jason Storbakken’s talk.
