To Serve This Present Age: Social Justice Ministries in the Black Church
“Ayers and Williams are prophetic practitioners of the 'Charge' they have issued and this challenging 'charge'' reflects their brilliant and passionate commitment to ''speaking truth to power'' while empowering the powerless and addressing issues of injustice. This 'wake up call' to the church and all people of principle is practically helpful and insightfully inspirational. It comes from the well of wisdom born out of their respective experiences on the front lines as they have taken the gospel from the sanctuary to the streets and to corporate suites challenging institutional iniquity and structural sin.” --Frederick Douglass Haynes III, senior pastor, Friendship-West Baptist Church, Dallas, Texas and author of Soul Fitness with Frederick D. Haynes III“Ayers and Williams have creatively woven and penned their personal convictions, theological reflections, and ministry experiences into an educational and practical resource for clergy and lay leaders.” --Iva E.
