January 4: "To
Make a Poet Black, and Bid Him Sing!" - Hal Lieberman
The
poet Countee Cullen, a major writer of the Harlem Renaissance,
had the gift of conveying an idea or a feeling with a few
words and a twist. I would like to see if he has the effect on
you that he's had on me. Hal is a longtime member of the
Fellowship.
Today is First Sunday. Every one is invited to stay for Soup and Bread
following the service. Visitors, please be our guests!
