Examining four decades of American antiapartheid activism, Movement Matters analyzes the long-term impact of the American antiapartheid movement on American civil religion. Exploring issues of race, politics and culture, the book presents a fresh look at the importance of antiapartheid activism in America. Movement Matters examines three crucial conflicts that shaped this activism: the debate between those holding an integrationist vision of the civil rights movement and the advocates of a Pan-Africanist view (the Black Power movement); the tension between the antiracist credibility American leaders sought to project to the world, and the anticommunist thrust of American foreign policy which led to a tacit alliance with South Africa; and the dispute over whether non-violence of armed liberation provided the best strategy for ending apartheid. For students of American history, African history, politics and cultural studies, this is a valuable resource and an essential read.
American organizations that opposed apartheid in South Africa
extended their opposition to racial discrimination in the US into
world politics. The antiapartheid movement mobilized public opinion
with familiar political symbols while increasing African-American
influence in the formulation of US foreign policy.
"Hear the good news The victory that defeats the world is our
faith, for who is victor over evil, but the one who believes that
Jesus is the Son of God. Friends, believe the good news "
Pastors and worship leaders know that we encounter God through the reading of Scripture in worship. They sometimes encounter difficulty, however, in integrating the day's readings from the lectionary with the other elements of worship. While we usually meet the biblical text face-to-face in the sermon, shouldn't we attune ourselves to what the Word would tell us throughout the whole of worship? This book is for those who believe we should. It will assist pastors and other worship leaders to weave the themes of the day's lections throughout the service of worship. Entries for each Sunday of the three-year cycle of the Revised Common Lectionary include the following: Call to Worship, Invocation, Prayer of Confession and Declaration of Pardon, Prayer of the Day, Prayer of Thanksgiving, Prayer of Dedication/Offertory Prayer, Prayer of Intercession and Commemoration, and one-sentence introductions to each of the lections. Employing a use of language that is inspiring and poetic, Prayers for the Seasons of God's People will provide valuable help to all who lead in the worship of the gathered people of God.
