More than Allies
Justice, Faith, and a Place for All in the Struggle for Freedom
Join Rev. Dr. Tex Sample for a live webinar from United Methodist Discipleship Ministries at 7 p.m. on September 16. The webinar will feature Civil Rights leader Bob Zellner, a white civil rights pioneer and layperson whose life inspired the motion picture, Son of the South. Zellner will share stories and insights from his work during the Civil Rights movement and help us rediscover how discipleship and social action align for a faithful commitment to the common good.

What brings people to tears may reveal their most authentic selves, as well as offer a space to commune with God.
