Description
Racism in the Lutheran church will surprise few. Rev. Samuel Hoard tells his life story including struggles with racism in society and in the church. An ordained pastor in The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod, Hoard traces his experiences growing up in st. Louis in the 1940s, as a pastor in America's urban environments, and as a chaplain in Vietnam and Germany. Hoard's book urgently encourages us to stand up for ourselves and our neighbours, but not become embittered in the process. The Truth Will Set You Free is intriguing to read, offering greater understanding in relating to one another in the service of the Lord and in the care of humankind.
