Graciously, I was invited to The Paul Edwards Show to discuss Senator Obama’s Father’s Day “sermon” (?), the problem of absentee fathers in the African American community, and Where Are All the Brothers? (For listeners to the program, my previous post on Jeremiah Wright and Liberation Theology can be found here.) I probably should rejoice that the speech places the final answer in Christ, even as Paul rejoiced from Rome with the Phillipians that the Gospel was preached – even when out of ill-motives. Yet I hope our pulpits will be centered around the Gospel every Sunday. As I state in the above post (which, chronologically, is after this post), there is a new book coming that I hope will contribute to a recovery of the Gospel in African American pulpits.
