“The Black Church maintains a clear prophetic tradition as part of a priestly function throughout its history. ” — William B. McClain

“Our songs and our prayers, our music and our meditations, our liturgical stance and our new theology must present the prophetic face of divine anger born of dignity and determination, undergirded by the Holy Spirit, to bring the sword in pursuit of the positive peace without which no man can experience salvation.” — Jefferson P. Rogers

I’m not always sure where “Nothing But Love in God’s Water: The Influence of Black Sacred Music on Civil Rights Movement” is going … but words like these make me think I’m at least searching for the right path.
