Andrew J. Young was for a while a United Church of Christ minister. He also worked with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the non-violent movement. He and his wife, Jean, were assigned to the National Council of Churches in New York City. Source: www.achievement.org Young said of this work, "'I am a black-born, Unitarian-bred minister of the liberal faith. I am an anomaly. My allegiance is split." So begins Mark Morrison-Reed's frank and revealing account of how blacks experience religion in America's white churches. Through the stories of two pioneering black ministers--Egbert Brown, founder of the first Unitarian Church in Harlem, and Lewis A.
