In this insightful book of essays inspired by his award-winning
book, Macon Black & White: An Unutterable Separation in the
American Century, Andrew M. Manis recruited clergy from a broad
spectrum of interracial, interreligious, and interdenominational
communities of faith in Macon, Georgia, to address their
congregations on the perennially controversial theme of racial
reconciliation. Acknowledging the truism that eleven o'clock on
Sunday morning remains the ""most segregated hour"" of the week,
Manis argues that neither White nor Black congregations are
familiar with what the other hears about race on the other side of
the color line. Fourteen clergy bring their scriptural
interpretations to bear on the longstanding problem of White
supremacy in American life and culture. Eavesdropping on the Most
Segregated Hour gives believers of a wide range of traditions the
opportunity to listen in on clergy from a diversity of theological
perspectives as they seek to cure souls and bring racial healing to
a small Southern city. In addition, two minister-historians, a
Black and a White Baptist, introduce these sermons and analyze
their crucial theological and ethical challenges, not only for
residents of Macon and Georgia, but for believers still struggling
to defeat White supremacy in its fourth century on the North
American continent. From Eavesdropping on the Most Segregated Hour,
Black and White clergy and laity alike will gain strength and
encouragement to cross the color line and continue ""marchin' up to
Freedom Land"" as they seek to build the Beloved Community in
America.
