While there are substantive ministries that exist in our cities today, just how much is tradition going to mire us in the prototypical Civil Rights Era of the Black Church.  The fact that I watched a Nightline episode this past week about a Humanist society in Palo Alto, California [...]

There are times when I Have No Words to express my outrage and disdain for the “foolishness that aboundeth” in this country.  I believe that this will be a new section that I will start.  I’m quite sure that this quote runs a chance of being in Soul Jonz “God Aint In this Quote.” The [...]

Wright Jr. celebrated 36 of ministry at Trinity United Church of Christ, and retiring as senior pastor from that pulpit that the new firestorm concerning his pastor is being trotted out again in front of the media as though this is something new.  [...]

Clinton, I am quite concerned after your victories last night and your decision to stay in the Democratic Primary race that you, yes you, are threatening to seriously divide the Democratic Party as we know it.  Why do I say that?  It’s simply because of your need and desire to be the frontrunner [...]
