    Thank you so much for sharing this powerful sermon. It is a tremendous resource for those — Jew and Christian — working on race and privilege issues. I have been grateful for Rev. Spearman’s work and am glad to learn of this seminar. I transcribed some of the sermon to include in a blog post asking “Where were Rizpah’s neighbors?” in honor of Beverly Smith’s six-month vigil seeking justice for her son, Alonzo. Please see “Confronting Jackals of Injustice” at the blog “A Song Everyday” (http://wp.me/ptnpJ-1EP)

    If there are other materials from the seminar to share, they would be most appreciated.

    PS — please let me know if I mistranscribed anything
