plague the community's future.
He pointed to the church as
catalyst for community unity.
The church's role as con
tributor to the community has a
rich legacy because it was a
means by which African
Americans survived slavery, he
said. In the present attemp to
destroy Black families, the
church must stand again to
defend and protect our families,
Fauntroysaid. We must become
spiritual family whereby God
and the proper image of self be
come the focus to be "agent for
change." The strong c;Jlaracter
of the church that existed in the
1950's and 1960's has to be
resounded.
"The battle to ave our
people is in our hands," he said.
We cannot become bsorbed in
hedonistic subversion. "We can
not become tempted to bury
ourselves, each must pull one."
