Historically, not just the Black Church, but Christianity as a whole has struggled with holding on to its faith and being on the right side of social justice issues. During the Civil Rights Movement, many civil rights leaders, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Fred Shuttlesworth, came from up out of the pulpit and into the streets leading the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the March on Selma, and other historical accounts of social justice. This month, the Urban Voice spoke with Pastor Timothy Careathers, of the Westside Baptist Church, about his calling and his perspectiveon “What is the Role of the Church: Saving Souls or Social Justice?”
