On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, thinking about Union Theological Seminary in New York, the "burning bush" of American theology in the 20th century. The cauldron of conversations about racism, oppression and liberation.
Thankful for James Cone and forebears Barth, Tillich and others.
And for Nina Turner's words at the MLK Memorial in Washington, D.C.:
"We may not have gotten here on the same ship, but we are in the same boat right now."
“The mountain might be higher, but we’ve been here before. The valley may be lower, but we’ve been here before.”
"And guess what, sisters and brothers? We can’t have a testimony without a test, and we are being tested right now for whether or not we’ve got courage enough, hope enough, fight enough, love enough to do what is necessary.”
