I have a friend who's nagging me to read Niebuhr, but I can't remember if it's Moral Man and Immoral Society or Nature and Destiny of Man. To take Cone's seminar on Niebuhr would be wonderful; it makes beautiful sense that he would teach it.
The communities he mentioned in Arkansas where he grew up are near my hometown and are very familiar to me. I believe I could find Macedonia AME without much trouble.
Thanks, JohnieB. As Grandmère Mimi noted and quoted on my personal blog, The power of the powerless. You can't kill the spirit. The oppressors can't win. Amen.
I'm of two minds about Niebuhr, but that is another conversation for another day...
Dr. Cone speaks a harsh truth and also a deep hope. We need to face and embrace both.
The mission of the Bishop's Committee for Racial Justice & Reconciliation of the Diocese of North Carolina is, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to transform our congregational and diocesan structures, communities, and personal lives to eliminate racism.

Quite a treat: Cone and Bernice Johnson Reagon!

I really like when people are expressing their opinion and thought. So I like the way you are writing
