And Yet The Melody Lingers: Essays, Sermons and Prayers On Religion and Race

To speak of America is speak of the ongoing convergence of religion and race. These are two themes that have continued to be intricately and indelibly linked – And yet the melody lingers. These twenty-two (22) essays, sermons and prayers offer snapshots of one person’s thought and praxis with regard to the themes of religion and race in America. Written over the course of a decade (1995-2004) the pieces that comprise this volume are a part of an ongoing journey - a litany of reflection/action - on these important themes. These writings can also be seen as a prayer that racism – and all of its atrocious effects - will someday be eradicated.
