Central Presbyterian Church issued the following announcement on Feb. 18.
Two churches bend the moral arc to move the community forward
“How Long, Not Long” is the popular name given to the speech delivered by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the steps of the Alabama state Capitol in Montgomery on March 25, 1965. King delivered this speech after the completion of the march from Selma to Montgomery. When asked how long it would take to see social justice, King replied, “How long? Not long, because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”
In an ongoing effort to address one of the three foci of the Matthew 25 invitation, dismantling structural racism, which calls for individuals and congregations to advocate and act to break down the systems, practices and thinking that underlie discrimination, bias, prejudice and oppression of people of color, Barbara Flythe of Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church and Pam Wakefield of Nassau Presbyterian Church, both located in Princeton, New Jersey, share how the two churches — one predominately Black, the other primarily white — have come together to bend the moral arc toward justice.
