Archbishop George Stallings with Dr. Sinclair Grey III April 27, 2013 |
I remember when Archbishop George Stallings stirred the cauldrons and
changed the reflections of a traditional structure by breaking away from the
Catholic Church, and started the Imani Temple African American Catholic
Congregation. I watched him. I wanted to see how he stood in the storms of
controversy. I looked and I saw a man standing. He affirmed me, and made it a
point to demonstrate the purpose of owning a purpose, and how a Black man looks
owning and sharing the essential quality of manhood: standing for something,
having convictions meaning something, and vision being something to look at and
see where you fit into the broadening scope of things.
This is part of the old way of being a man becoming an
Elder. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5.2.13
