“There is no Black faith that doesn't wrestle with the problem of evil. My reply to these questions is: We who have suffered must have some say in how that suffering is interpreted. We won the right, through our scars, to discern the significance of what we endured.” ChristianSufferingFaithEvilProblem Of Evil Book:How Far to the Promised Land: One Black Family's Story of Hope and Survival in the American South Source: How Far to the Promised Land: One Black Family's Story of Hope and Survival in the American South
“We hope that as Christians we mature and grow and become more and more like Christ. But the church and its wisdom assumes we will fail even after our baptism.
