Within the Word we find two dimensions, reflection and action, in such radical interaction that if one is sacrificed-even in part--the other immediately suffers. There is no... |

During United States President Ronald Reagan's state funeral and shortly thereafter, much was made of the absence of mourning and the lack of sadness in the African-American community.
