REVEREND CALVIN BUTTS III

LIBERTE-EGALITE-FRATERNITE. Now that Nicolas is having his First Communion I have remembered this long due Post. We went to Reverend Calvin Butts III sermon in The Abyssinian Baptist Church of Harlem the Sunday after Christmas last year. I can only say this: - If only he had been my Pastor I would have believed in anything!
It is quite an experience to listen to the man, with the entire congregation in love with him. And he talked a lot of truth about discrimination too.
We couldn't take pictures inside, but we did have our share of "Urban Gospel" while queuing in the street to enter the Church :-)


Ahora que Nicolas hace su Primera Comunion me he acordado de este Post debido. Fuimos a oir el sermon del Reverendo Calvin Butts III en la Abyssinian Baptist Church de Harlem el domingo después de Navidad el año pasado. Solo puedo decir esto: - ¡Si hubiera sido mi Pastor hubiera podido creer en cualquier cosa!
Es toda una experiencia escucharle, con toda la congregación arrebatada con él. Y dijo muchas verdades sobre la discriminación también.
No pudimos hacer fotos, pero tuvimos nuestra ración de "Urban Gospel" haciendo cola en la calle para entrar en la iglesia :-)

  3. I must agree with Jane & Lance!
    Sad to say that many churches are closing down...
