Concerning Life as It Is Supposed to Be

White Preaching

On Tuesday my associate Geoff and I were eating sandwiches at a local Italian restaurant. Into the restaurant walked, or I should say limped, my friend James Roberts, an African American pastor and dear brother of mine.

I asked James why he was limping. He told me that he had hurt his hamstring. I asked him how in the world he did that, joking that he shouldn’t play so hard.

The explanation involved wearing the wrong shoes, but the key line was that he made a move while preaching on Sunday and felt it go.

As I laughed, I told James that no white preacher I knew, no white Presbyterian at least, ever ran the risk of pulling a hamstring while preaching!
