Every human being is a researcher and we are all researching with our lives the issue of whether, when the umbilical cord was severed, that was a friendly gesture or not. The way we live our lives is our report on our research. And your spirituality is your report on your research as to whether that was a fortuitous moment or the beginning of deep tragedy for us.

We must listen to the black folk, the white folk, the poor folk, the rich folk. We need to know what marginal folk are saying, what corporate rulers are saying. You can't preach if you don't know what the folks are saying, not only with their mouths, but with the conditions of their lives.

James A. Forbes
