Today's minister must be informed on problems vital to labor; he must be close to the racial grievances of his flock and be a fearless fighter for Negro rights; he must be acquainted with social services and give his congregation the benefits of that knowledge. Today's man of God must be a combination of labor organizer, race leader and social worker in addition to an inspired preacher of the Gospel...
