R.I.P. Pastor John L. Wright (First Baptist Church of Guilford)
I remember some years ago now picking up The Afro Newspaper and turning straight to their Faith section where they would have church advertisements and articles. It was on that page that my eyes would be drawn to the advertisement from the First Baptist Church of Guilford. I loved looking at their... »
Remi Kanazi Performs Israel/America: A Rambling Poem
Great poem I caught last week on GRITtv. Pumped me up all the more for the upcoming Friends of Sabeel North America Conference focused on Christian thought and action with Palestinian Christians from October 1 – 3, 2009 at Shiloh Baptist Church in Washington, DC. The theme of the conference is “Pursue... »
A man was murdered down the street from my house last night…
Two others were wounded. During an evening that promised to be filled with family time and football; my night was interrupted by an unsettling phone call from my mother. The timbre in the voice on the other end of the phone immediately sent my mind back 9 years. The only time... »

I mentally prepare for anything during these settings, but that’s one question that I hadn’t prepared for and given the upbeat nature of the meeting to that point, perhaps I let me guard down... »
Rev. Jeremiah Wright is the worst person in the world?
According to MSNBC political analyst, Keith Olbermann, he is. In fact, according to Olbermann, Wright should turn in his clergy collar and and give his Bible to someone who has read it because “he is no longer by the stretch of anybody’s imagination a Man of God.” Pretty harsh words. The offense came... »
You can’t pray for the Mayor, but you can pray for the City Council?
PHOTO CREDIT: CITY FARMER.INFO Call it serendipity. Call it providential. Call it a second chance. Who knows what it is. All I know is that one day after pushing the “publish” button on my article about receiving an invitation to pray for the Mayor, (an invitation that I eventually declined), I... »
Searching for Middle East TRUTH during Sunday School
Photo Credit: Nerve.com Some of you remember my announcement not long ago that this month’s Sunday School at my church would be different than the norm. This month we’ve focused our energy on the issue of the Middle East and particularly Palestine/Israel. Before beginning this, I wasn’t sure how it would all turn... »
