To: Dinah Lord

From the good Reverend’s website:

We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:

1-A congregation committed to ADORATION.
2-A congregation preaching SALVATION.
3-A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
4-A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO
AFRICA.
5-A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
6-A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
7-A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF
AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
8-A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
9-A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
10-A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

Hmmm, now how does it sound?

"We are a congregation which is Unashamedly White and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the White religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an European people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization."
