PROFESSOR
JIM SMYRE, life-long resident of Charleston, S. C., visits with Sara, Barry and
his friend SANDY FRAZIER to comment on the phenomenon of unity and forgiveness
unfolding out of Charleston all the way across America following the
cold-blooded murder of the Emanuel AME Church leader Clementa Pinckney and
eight of his parishioners during a Wednesday night Bible Study at the
church. On your honor now, everybody, could you have foreseen such a
spectacle of spiritual role-modelling against the mayhem of Ferguson and
Baltimore?
Barry, Jim, Sandy
ReplyDeleteIt was a shock heard around the world. A White Supremacist goes to bible study with nine black worshippers then an hour later murders them all but one. Right here in Charleston where the Hate split the country. Hate raised it's ugly head once again.
But then it happened. As if Christ himself ( I am Jewish too) was with the murdered nine their families raised their spirits from the dead forever by forgiving the murderer. The world paused as the word spread, for an instance, and began to question Hate and Forgiveness opened their hearts Unfortunately it appears the nation and the world are returning to business as usuial, but, a tiny spark of grace remains in everyone's
heart.
