We collectively may have some vague knowledge that Joseph Priestley was an early Unitarian who also discovered oxygen, then emigrated from England to America just after the revolution. In today’s sermon, Camille Korsmo will fill in some important details about Priestley’s career as a dissenting minister/theologian, a remarkably successful amateur chemist, an author of far-ranging subjects and a political refugee.
