And so, in my heart, I’m troubled. And I’m worried about the way faith is cynically used by some to serve hate, fear, racism and greed.
Reverend William Barber
Faith has always been the instrument of hate, fear, racism and greed, and always will be — but kudos to Barber for acknowledging that use today. And notice this: The sermon that most comports with Jesus’ ideals would never have been welcomed by the party that loudly claims him.
