Excerpt from Conversations With W. W. Finlator
I think to stand in a pulpit and not to say something current and prophetic, speaking not only to my congregation but to the world today, is wrong, is missing a great Opportunity.
You mention the word prophetic; you must be aware that most preachers find themselves more comfortable functioning as priests and pastors?
Yes, in summoning up remembrance of things past I am well aware that, as Robert Frost put it, Itook the less traveled path and it made all the difference. Still I am impressed with the consistency with which I have fulfilled that commitment made years ago, which was that my ministry should give major emphasis to corporate and collective ethics rather than to private and individual morality. Not that l have minimized the latter at all but that I have long known that some' 95% of my fellow clergymen would be working that side of the street to the neglect, as I feared, of what St. Paul called the principalities and powers and Spiritual wickedness in the high places. Or, to borrow from Reinhold Niebuhr's great book, Moral Man and Immoral Society, my decision was to leave 'moral man' to'the tender mercies of my brethren while I, however ineffectively in my Don Quixote role, would take on the 'immoral society,' and I have no apologies.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and ministry of a Baptist preacher who dared to challenge the status quo in the American South. Through a series of intimate conversations, we explore the preacher's unwavering commitment to social justice and his willingness to confront controversial issues such as racism, war, and labor rights. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing South, the book reveals the preacher's unique perspective as a native southerner who became a vocal critic of his own culture. His journey from a traditional upbringing to a life of activism is both inspiring and thought-provoking. The conversations explore the complexities of faith, the role of the church in society, and the challenges of living a life of conviction. The preacher's insights on the intersection of religion and politics, the importance of dissent, and the power of compassion offer a compelling vision for a more just and equitable world. His unwavering belief in the potential for positive change, even amidst adversity, serves as a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit.
