Re: inconsistency and false gospel?

note, those were black ministers. it was more a movement of black people than of christians. most white christians were either uninterested or strongly opposed. that or interested but not concerned enough to be actively involved in marches, sit-ins, strikes and the impending jail time.

The impression I've always got from watching documentaries about the civil rights movement is that the the whites who were actively involved would be charactised more as left wing radicals rather than Christians (although they could be both of course).

If any of our board regulars were involved at the time I'd be interested to know if this impression is actually correct.

So was Martin Luther King, jr a Christian minister or not?

Sure he was - but I've always been under the impression he was also black.

My post was about the whites who were actively involved in the Civil Rights movement, so I fail to see the how MLK jr. is relevant.

Re: inconsistency and false gospel?

You referred to "the church". Do you mean to qualify that and claim the white church?
If so, can you substantiate that the white church was pro-abortion?

I think you've lost the plot - or at least the sub-thread of messages

My initial Message 34, reproduced below in it's entirety, does not contain the words "church" or "abortion". It was an observation and query on the demoraphy of whites who were actively involved in the Civil Rights movement.

If any of our board regulars were involved at the time I'd be interested to know if this impression is actually correct.
