“The church is the only society that exists primarily for those who are not its members. We were part of something much greater than ourselves, and we wouldn’t and couldn’t leave anyone behind. The problems here were our problems, and we would not look away. The slaves sang it this way: “I shall not be moved. Just like a tree, planted by the water, I shall not be moved.”

“We couldn’t see heaven, we couldn’t see resurrection, but we could feel its possibility. God had been factored into the equation of our experience and something in reality changed. That’s where and when hope happens—when reality is altered by a new possibility. It’s what the Bible calls hoping against hope. And that hope begins the journey of faith, and interestingly enough, all genuine efforts to change for the good. That’s what making do can do for you.”
