Justice Is Our Love In Action

As a pastor and a community activist for progressive causes, I find that it helps me to center my thoughts early each morning to help me in my writing, church and community work. So first thing every morning I spend time in God's Word and in prayer. The next thing I do every morning is read one of Stewart's poems. His poetic words dovetail with what I had just read in Scripture...Stewart mixes righteous anger with genuine caring and love for those whom society has marginalized. His poetry energizes me for my daily tasks. Rev. Paul White, Lutheran Church, Menphis, Tennessee
