PARAKLETOS

So today we went to the Rosa Parks museum and then to the national center for the study of civil rights and african american culture at alabama state unversity.  At Alabama state we spent time with Rev Graetz (pictured below).  He moved to Motgomery 3 monthes before the bus boycott to pastor the church at Rosa Parks was a part of.  Rev. Graetz is one of the white heroes that we have got to meet, he worked with Dr. King, had his house bombed 3 times (with a young family), had the KKK come to his house and threaten him and yet he said that he stilled trusted God and would do it all over again.  He said that he did not expect to live as long as he has because he thought that the KKK would kill him.  Now that is the kind of faith that i am looking for.

the three things that he said we need to be fighting for today are:
against poverty
against religious foundamentalism
and for homosexual sex rights.

i have to go to supper see you later.
