June 3, 2005 -- "Whose God is God is at the
heart of our struggle," stated Rev. Jesse Jackson. "Is it a God
of one supreme race, one supreme gender, the God of the rich, young
rulers, or is it the God of mercy and grace and justice for all?
Is it the God that condoned slavery, denial of women's rights, denial
of workers' rights, denial of education for all, or is it the God of
liberation, a God who finds joy in our reaching back for the least of
these, our defending the poor, and our setting the captives free?"
