The damage done by hatred and prejudice-based on race, sexual orientation, religion, or gender-runs very deep. The damage done is often invisible, but it simmers beneath the surface anyway. In Race and Prayer, Malcolm Boyd and Chester Talton have collected poems, prayers, and prose that bring the anger and frustration to light, and ultimately, they hope, to a place of reconciliation and healing. Race and Prayer is divided into five sections: Suffering and Anger; Prejudice and Hatred; Diversity; Reconciliation and Healing; and Growth in Understanding and Sharing. Contributors to this collection range in age from teenagers to the elderly, and include men and women from a wide variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds, all of whom speak honestly of their own experiences, heartbreaks, and hopes. Twelve cartoons from three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Conrad, editorial cartoonist at the Los Angeles Times, add to the power of this collection.

Impressive and inspiring poems, prayers, and prose,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Race and Prayer: Collected Voices, Many Dreams (Paperback)
Collaboratively compiled by Malcom Boyd (Episcopal priest and poet/writer in residence at the Cathedral Center of St. Paul, Los Angeles) and Chester Talon (Bishop Suffragan of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles), Race And Prayer: Collected Voices, Many Dreams consists of dealing with the transformation of anger and impressive and inspiring poems, prayers, and prose frustration to a condition of reconciliation and healing. Enhanced with twelve cartoons by Los Angeles times editorial cartoonist Paul Conrad, Race And Prayer is organized into five sections (Suffering and Anger; Prejudice and Hatred; Diversity; Reconciliation and Healing; Growth in Understanding and Sharing). Race And Prayer is important and highly recommended reading for all Christians regardless of denominational affiliation or background.
