For the past maybe 15 years, those of us in the Black Church tradition have jointly witnessed the rise of ecclesial bodies and newly ordained bishops in denominations that theretofore did not engage in such practice. I still remember being a host of a Baltimore-based, two-way talk radio show some years ago and engaging...

Wisdom From The Ancestors: Archbishop Oscar Romero

It helps, now and then, to step back and take the long view. The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts, it is beyond our vision. We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God’s work. Nothing we do is complete, which is another way...

By

The old folks in church used to sing a song that says, “Whisper a prayer in the morning. Whisper a prayer at noon. Whisper a prayer in the evening. It will keep your heart in tune.” Well before the rigors of research revealed the truth of this song; our Ancestors and Elders believed in...

Pastor John Hagee: Minister of Apartheid

Casual study of some of the major state-sponsored atrocities of history will reveal that oftentimes there was religious representation somewhere in the mix that attempted to provide theological sanction for the vicious brutality being enacted on others.

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.

Do This In Remembrance Of Me

It’s been a continuing revelation to me that Communion – one of the central ordinances of the Christian Church is more than ritual.
