Loving God is never separate from loving our brothers and sisters. It's always the same.
From Clementa C. Pinckney
Could we not argue that America is about freedom, whether we live it out or not, but it really is about freedom, equality and the pursuit of happiness. And that's what church is all about.
It is my hope that as South Carolina senators, that we will stand up for what is best and good about our state.
Our calling is not just within the walls of the congregation, but we are part of the life and community in which our condition resides.
I hope I can live up to the faith that has been put in me to do a good job.
We have a legacy to uphold: the people who died so that we could have the right to vote; the people who sacrificed so that we would one day realize the dream of a black president.
I see everything I do as an extension of the ministry. It's all about service.
In the community, in the African-American community, one person ought to say something, and that is the minister. The minister is paid by the people. He doesn't work for a big company. He doesn't represent a particular special interest.
What this denomination stands for is, really, is the universal vision of all people being treated fairly under the law as God sees us in His sight.
God is no respecter of persons or causes.
