Current Panel: Whatever Happened to the Religious Left?

Rev. Osagyefo Sekou:

"My grandfather was both a railroad worker, a Pentecostal and a socialist" and they stood together in his hand.

Quoting the SCLC saying they were coming to redeem the soul of American.

"Are we willing to see Democracy as a meaning making activity (with the intent to expand rights for all)"

Ryan (?):

Frederick Clarkson's words:

"Charity is not to be confused with justice."

"Power is the ability to attain purpose."

"I can not find a single organization on the left where sustained electoral activity (is the central aim)"

"The religious left does not do democracy as well as the religious right (at least as far as electoral politics go.)"
