It seems I know these people. Don't many of us feel that?
I've worshipped in Charleston.
All my life I've known the vibe of an A.M.E. Church on a Sunday morning. We call ourselves a "connectional" denomination, the "sons and daughters of Richard and Sarah Allen." I've leaned on that connection when traveling to different U.S. cities.
I'm just rambling here.
This post isn't intended to be demoninational-ist, if I may coin a phrase. I've just been feeling that connection today -- to my grandmother Gray, my great aunts, my Sunday School teacher ... the liberationist history of the A.M.E. church, my brothers and sisters and friends in Charleston.
