How Did Your Church Discuss Charleston?
The Reverend Amy Butler from The Riverside Church and Cornel West, Union Theological Seminary professor and the author of Black Prophetic Fire (Beacon Press, 2014), discuss what they said and heard at church this weekend. Listeners: If you went to church -- or any religious services this weekend -- give us a call and tell us how your congregation reflected on the Charleston shootings. 212-433-9692. Plus: what we can learn about forgiveness from the families of the victims.Â
.@CornelWest says the astonishing forgiveness displayed by the families of the Charleston victims was premature.

@BrianLehrer Right ON, bruh West. 'Forgiveness' must be self-affirming and also require justice -- for the sake of the transgressor too.

.@PastorAmyTRC: "The world needs the church, and the church needs to act in a prophetic way to bring change...there's just no time to wait."
