Blood of the Lamb: Saints, Sinners and Slavery - Paperback

by Dorothy Butters (Author)

As the devout Christians of Anniesland Hall in Glasgow bent their heads in prayer, few knew that slavery was a major contributor to Glasgow's wealth, and that evidence of this history can be found throughout the city. Even fewer, if any, guessed that the magnificent building which was such a huge part of their lives was funded from the proceeds of the slave trade. Blood of the Lamb traces the development of Glasgow and of Anniesland Hall. It gives a personal account of life in this close-knit Christian community from its heyday as a place of comfort and joy to its decline into isolation and regret.
