Well, William Sloan Coffin was no doubt supportive of the civil rights movement, but the citation is pretty ironic, given the source. A quick search turns up a nice sermon by the Rev. Coffin which the source might or might not appreciate. The Dangers of Self-righteousness fccb.org I think that self-righteousness is the bane of all human relations. And the point, of course, is made in the classic example of self-righteousness in the parable phrase "I thank thee Lord, that I am not as others are." We've seen a lot of that kind of self-righteousness in Washington in the course of this last year. After the tawdry White House affair was revealed, a Senator said, "I feel as if I've shrunk an inch." Well, what made him think he was an inch taller in the first place? It's not that he, Clinton, isn't a sinner, it's only that it takes one to catch one. Cheers, Dan.

They were prominent in their time, and therefore worth mentioning, whether or not you have heard of them. I do not recall Billy Graham saying much one way or another about the matter, but he was not pro- segregation, at least. But the important thing is that the black churches were the center of action in most communities.
