Revolution: Martin Luther King Jr.'s Epic Challenge to the Church
From
time to time prophetic Christian voices rise to challenge our nation’s
"original sin." In the twentieth century, compelled by the Spirit of
God and a yearning for freedom, the African American church took the lead in
heralding the effort. Like almost no other movement before or since, Christian
people gave force to a social mission. And, remarkably, they did it largely
through nonviolent actions. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s words and historic
efforts as the Moses of this civil rights movement stand out as perhaps the
most significant instance of a modern Christian leader acting in a prophetic
role to instigate political change. In many ways "The Letter from
Birmingham Jail" stands at the center of that movement. In this book
African American journalist Edward
Gilbreath explores the place of that letter in the life and work of Dr.
King. Birmingham Revolution
is not simply a work of historical reflection. Gilbreath encourages us to
reflect on the relevance of King's work for the church and culture of our day.
Whether it’s in debates about immigration, economic redistribution or
presidential birth certificates, race continues to play a role in shaping
society. What part will the church play in the ongoing struggle? Edward joins
us.
5:00 – Race With the Devil: My Journey from Racial Hatred to
Rational Love
Before he was
the world’s foremost Catholic biographer, Joseph
Pearce was a leader of the National Front, a British-nationalist,
white-supremacist group. Before he published books highlighting and celebrating
the great Catholic cultural tradition, he disseminated literature extolling the
virtues of the white race, and calling for the banishment of all non-white from
Britain. Pearce and his cohorts were at the center of the racial and
nationalist tensions—often violent—that swirled around London in the late-1970s
and early 80s. A one-year prison term spurred a sea change in his life. He is
here to talk about it.
