Luckily, the pastors of the abolitionist era didn’t shrink from the fight in the realm of worldly politics.
Today’s “men of the cloth” are, by and large, cowards, wed to their tax-exempt status and the nice, hefty cash streams they collect from the “faithful” who don’t demand too much from their “leaders.”
I’d prefer to be thankful that the pastors of the Revolution, the Black Robed Regiments, didn’t shrink from the fight rather than celebrate the fans of John Brown and his ilk.
