Ebenezer Baptist’s pastor says ministers shouldn’t stay silent on issues of race

“The Rev. Raphael G. Warnock has had a busy couple of weeks. After co-hosting and delivering the opening sermon at a conference on ending mass incarceration in the United States, he was off to the American Baptist Churches USA Biennial Mission Summit in Virginia Beach, Virginia, where he led two workshops on the same topic. And less than 24 hours later, he was back at Ebenezer to preach his weekend services and for the 45th annual scholarship concert honoring the memory of the late Alberta Christine Williams King.“

T.I., the Central Park Five, and Ebenezer Baptist Church Kick Off Summit to End Mass Incarceration

Raphael Warnock and the historic Ebenezer Baptist, Martin Luther King Jr.’s home church, are kicking off a multi-faith-based movement that seeks to address the manmade storm that has seen millions of black men, women, and children jailed and placed under penal jurisdiction.”
