Jacky Clark-Chisholm

Most know Jacky Clark-Chisolm as a Grammy-award winning singer and evangelist, best known as one of gospel’s legendary Clark Sisters who have gifted the world with such classic hits as “You Brought the Sunshine” and “There Is A Balm in Gilead”. But the eldest of the Clark Sisters’ creativity goes far beyond the stage. In fact, in her famous family, Clark-Chisholm is known for her culinary skills, maintaining that a love for cooking is inherent to her role in family.

She characterizes most of her recipes as “Southern style homecooked”. Specialties include everything from Cheese Biscuits, Honey Garlic Pork Chops and Fried Corn to Baked Apple Dumplings and 7Up Pound Cake me, and my creative juices get flowing when adding spices and condiments which boost the flavors and accentuate the smells that permeate through the house making mouths water,” says Clark-Chisholm of her cooking ministry. She was convinced to share her love for cooking with others when her daughter videotaped her in the kitchen, which led to a radio show and her latest release, a cookbook entitled, Cooking With Auntie Jackie. In it, she shares some of her family favorites. She says that the book is directed to first timers and or those who are “not all that proficient in the kitchen”.

Notes Jackie, “I do not proclaim to be a world renowned chef, I just love to cook. The main ingredient in these shared meals is love.”

Love continued from page 8 facts, police are immune from being sued.

Unions protect policemen with a track record of infractions, and then qualified immunity protection allows them to go out and do it again.

This is the most important technical reform that can improve police behavior.

But we must remember, good men will produce good results even in a bad system. But bad men, even in the most perfectly designed system, will produce bad results.

Elder continued from page 8 blacks constitute around 60 percent of all robbery and murders defendants, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics." She notes: "African Americans between the ages of 10 and 34 die from homicide at 13 times the rate of white Americans, according to researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Justice Department." Almost always the young black male's murderer is a young black male. This explains the "disproportionate" police interaction with blacks. Last weekend in Chicago alone, 30 people were shot, seven fatally. Baltimore and St. Louis have homicide rates three times greater than that of Chicago.

Pulpit continued from page 19 the most humbling moments of my entire life, but it also resonated with me and I believe this is exactly what God wanted.

To those who’ll say you’re no Kenneth Ulmer or ‘let’s see if he can fill the shoes of Kenneth Ulmer’, what do you say?

That's okay. I know I'm not Bishop Kenneth Ulmer and I'm comfortable with that because I know who I am. For the last four decades, God has filled his shoes and I'm trusting God to fill mine.

What do you believe are the unique challenges for the Black church and specifically your generation of preachers?

Some of them are political, some of them are racial and some cultural. We have a generation that’s spiritual and they're seeking, but they also have a lot of questions. They can see right through fluff and they want to know what's real and the truth and if you can't adequately describe those, teach those, or answer those, they won't take you seriously. The preachers of this age are going to have to be able to know how to engage from a biblical and theological perspective the issues and the culture the black church is facing.

So, then churches have become less social and more practical for people?

Yes. I'm trying to grow a person holistically– every aspect of their life. I'm trying to reach the whole person.

What is your biggest strength?

My absolute biggest strength is my faith in God. I'm going to commit to God no matter what the situation is, no matter what the opposition is. If God said it and His word says it, that's what I'm going with no matter what.
