State of the Black Church

[RBL]

A lot of comments made in the forum really stuck with me and the panelist were entertaining and highly informative

1, Cornell West made the comment that we need to stop teaching our kids to be successful but tell them and advise them to be GREAT! I don't know why I found that statement so profound but when you think about it..success means different things for different people. If a Lexus is successful and you are a drug dealer and drive a Lexus then you are successful but not great.

2. Marva Collins- one of the most intelligent people on the earth stated that at her school her students uses the words "I THINK" and she talked about the importance of engaging children to always THINK. Mentality is the biggest obstacle we face in our current crisis

3. Gwendolyn Goolsby Grant- when she caught the spirit.. I almost caught it with her.. She explained how you need to turn to GOD to get you out of your situation and she reference how as a people that in our darkest days we knew to call on GOD for deliverance.

4. Judge Mathis- You could feel the passion in all his statements. Although I felt that he didn't really agree with Susan Taylor's constant remarks on love..to quote the judge "We love too much"

5. Of course Rev Dyson was on 10

6. Bishop McKenzie was absolutely DYNAMIC.

If can find out when it will air again I will post it..
