Adventists and the Civil Rights Movement

[CGMedley]

The Adventist Review presents a compelling saga of four young church members who participated in the civil rights movement, marching Martin Luther King in Selma, Alabama. The article also details the experiences that suffered as they tried to worship in Adventist Churches. http://www.adventistreview.org/2005-1521/story1.html

Some have problems in the north too. I was a member of a hispanic church and many of our students in the church school recieved "help" from the other churches because they were so poor. A member of one of the other churches told our pastor that he should preach to our congregation to get jobs and get off from welfare. A hispanic edler that was with our pastor kindly answered that perhaps the angl member should tell his congregation to pay tithe since over 80% of the hispanic members pay tithe and less than 50% of the algo members do.

That is a profoundly powerful article. It reminds us that it wasn't that long ago . . . and it's still a struggle we should be involved in.
