Thanks also for including the link, I guess I made an error with that.Phillipe Copelandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18342490962831946701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16607511.post-83662310328998627512008-01-15T15:56:00.000-03:002008-01-15T15:56:00.000-03:00Phillipe,<BR/>The interview with Dr. James Cone is amazing, and I wanted to repost the link, because I think it included a typo in the original post:<BR/><A HREF="http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/11232007/watch.html" REL="nofollow">http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/11232007/watch.html</A><BR/><BR/>There is so much richness in Dr. Cone's talk: "Because religion is a spirit that is not defined by what people can do to your body. They can kill your body, but they can't kill your soul. We were always told that. There is a spirit deep in you that nobody can take away from you because it's a creation that God gave to you."<BR/><BR/>Bill Moyers addresses this idea that I have heard recently when teaching the Baha'i Faith to Whites -- "Where was God...? [How can God allow such absolute suffering?]" And Dr. Cone's response shattered my thinking: "You are looking at it from the perspective of those who win. You have to see it from the perspective of those who have no power."<BR/><BR/>Thank you for blogging this.levhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12004142261129393752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16607511.post-15549865878888260392008-01-03T11:58:00.000-03:002008-01-03T11:58:00.000-03:00Baha'is want to obliterate their history from the 20th century on; African-Americans it seems want to never let go of theirs.MrDonuthttp://sallyofthevalley.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
