The Third Reconstruction: How a Moral Movement Is… door Rev Dr William J. Barber II
KINDLE
Quick read of a notable sermon. We are indeed, Rev Barber. Thank you.
While Reverend Dr. Barber is certainly working to build coalitions across creed/race/condition, and I am very impressed, I will admit a bit surprised as well, to see that this includes the LGBTQ community in North Carolina, I was a bit put off by the clear Christian bias (preaching) in his book, which essentially summarises the meetings and marches that have been part of the building of his movement.
I understand and agree that the US is a primarily Judeo-Christian nation in origin, but I find that the level of explicitly Christian citations is far far higher than what Dr. King used, and I personally feel (and perhaps this reflects my own biases) that less of the preaching and more of the reasoning of the type used by Dr. King most often in his speeches might draw in more of our non-Christian brethren (particularly Islamic friends -and much of the Koran does cite or paraphrase the Bible, so it is not very difficult to include Koranic verses as well, given that Rev. Barker seems to go to pains to include both "Old Testament" and NT quotes...).
Overall, I found the last pages in chapter 14 most useful (lessons learned and goals/strategies for linked/related movements).
