A brief post recommending an article in the New Yorker magazine. Its discusses how black evangelicals are organizing to challenge the religious right. Is 2016 going to be a tipping point for black evangelicals?
“If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning.”
Frederick Douglas
This is what the Lord says—
he who made a way through the sea,
a path through the mighty waters,

This is going to be a very brief post. The other day I read an article at the New Yorker that was very interesting. The article by Eliza Griswold looks at the growing black evangelical movement and how many are stepping up to combat the white religious right. Many blacks are tired of being lumped in with the Jerry Falwell Jrs and other like minded personalities. There are a number of blacks who are concerned about black imprisonment, social justice issues, racism and many other topics. I would encourage you to read this article called, “Evangelicals of Color Fight Back Against the Religious Right.”
