Bishop Jackson says that whether you're a politician or a layman, your faith is going to enter into our decisions. But many Americans today feel that the Church has overstepped its bounds, so the Church must define what is its proper corporate role. Individual Christianity is at the heart of who this nation is and individuals must bring their faith to wherever they are as an act of service. He mentions how religion impacted the politics of William Wilbur, Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr. As an African-American, Bishop Jackson says that he would not be able to speak tonight if religiously-motivated people had not acted against immoral laws.

  • Faith based activists fought slavery in American and the UK. Look up William Wilberforce in the UK. Brilliant and he rallied many people of many interests to abolish slavery without a Civil War or one gun shot. 

  • Religion was also used to support slavery.
