American Clergy, Pastor at First Methodist Episcopal Church

"The strong man does not always ride the wave of success. The strong man is the one who can turn the misfortune of life into character; the one who is committed to the essential and not the superficial. He faces and overcomes inner challenges and depends not on outer acclaim."

"Racism is sin. Racial, ethnic and religious enmity is perhaps the most insidious sin of the 20th century. And sin it is. Make no mistake."

"The dance will be my form of ministry."
