Quotes by lenny duncan (?)

“You showed me that my past didn't make me unworthy to receive the nearness of God in the elements. I could stand before the table of grace a whole person -- deeply flawed and still incredibly valued, hand-made by a loving God”
― Lenny Duncan, Dear Church: A Love Letter from a Black Preacher to the Whitest Denomination in the US

“If you are a leader in this church and no one is following, you are just out for a walk.”
― Lenny Duncan, Dear Church: A Love Letter from a Black Preacher to the Whitest Denomination in the US

“Dear Church, it’s time to stop prioritizing tradition and civility over the lives of the marginalized. Our well-meaning desires to be tolerant and welcoming have left us ill equipped to face radical evil.”
― Lenny Duncan, Dear Church: A Love Letter from a Black Preacher to the Whitest Denomination in the US
