R.I.P. Dr. Caesar A.W. Clark
I just received notification that Dr. C.A.W. Clark, one of the greatest preachers in this country, died Sunday, July 27, 2008.
I first was made aware of Dr. Clark through a CD sermon bundle offered by the African American Pulpit Journal. I bought what I consider to be one of the greatest sermons ever preached - “The Worms Got Him.” If you have never heard this sermon by Dr. Caesar A.W. Clark, you would do well to add this to your collection.
The man is a brilliant mind and with his deliberately slow introduction and distinct rhythm he’ll draw you to the core of the text inviting you to see it again with new eyes.
Here’s to one of the greatest pulpiteers of his generation, Dr. Caesar A.W. Clark. May your legacy continue to inspire preachers to be faithful to the text and the sacred art of Black preaching.

He preached a sermon 20 years ago in chicago “go another way” based on the three wise men that i will never forgot. it was about how difficult it is for us to change or accept young people even if God is telling you. you are right. he was a great preacher

His parting reminds one of the bringy tears that were shed at the time of the Apostle Paul’s departure from Ephesus, there the Christians wept on the seashore knowing that they wouldn’t see him again, or would they?
Like the Apostle Paul, Dr. Clark fought a good fight, kept the faith, finished his course, and has entered into the next step in the divine evolutionary life cyle, transcension - we will remember him up and until we see him again!
And did not our hearts burn while he was with us?
