11 Not OK but forgiven Since Thomas Harris popular self-help book I m OK, You re OK was first published in 1967, the title has become a cliché, thanks to knock-offs and parodies. One is titled I m OK, You re Not So Hot. Indeed, it s often in our nature to be more accepting of our own behavior than of others. Yet at other times we re too quick to dismiss a wrong done against us. When a wise Christian apologized to me for something she d done, I immediately replied, It s OK. But she responded, No, it s not OK, but you can tell me I m forgiven. Lent reminds us that none of us is perfectly OK in our relationships with God and one another. But thanks to God s unconditional love, demonstrated through Jesus willingness to suffer even death for us, we re indeed forgiven. Heidi Mann 10
12 UCC Mission Moment Branded like animals, chained naked together, hundreds of human beings crammed into a tiny space and rowed across the Atlantic with a bucket for human waste and little food or air such was the brutality of the Middle Passage. The Middle Passage is the name given to the journey by ships forced on to millions of human beings kidnapped and brought from Africa to the Americas. Many died and those who survived were sold as slaves into a world far from their homes. It was on one such ship that a slave named Sengbe Pieh found a file given to him or left behind by a female slave and with it he sawed through his leg iron. He then freed others and led a revolt above decks. It was 1839 and such is one piece of the story of the ship slave ship called the Amistad. We in the United Church of Christ remember that story because our past is tied to its events, and reflects how deep are our roots in the cause of freedom and equality for all. Sengbe Pieh and his fellow slaves were arrested and charged with murder and their case was tried and won in the Supreme Court by John Quincy Adams and the tireless work of many others, including prominent Congregationalists. Abolitionists of all colors gathered around in support of the slaves of the Amistad. The American Missionary Association was organized in 1846 by Congregational and Presbyterian abolitionists who had been active in support of the Amistad defendants. Twenty-five years later the AMA chartered seven colleges for the education of African American students: Berea College, in Kentucky; Fisk University, in Tennessee; Atlanta University, in Georgia; Hampton Institute, in Virginia; Talladega College, in Alabama; Tougaloo University, in Mississippi; Straight University, now known as Dillard, in Louisiana. They helped establish Howard University. Originally established to train teachers, these schools had trained over 7000 black teachers by The AMA itself long ago folded itself into other associations including the United Church Board for Homeland Ministries and further into our denominational restructure in But its mission to support the empowerment of black Americans through education has helped create generations of black leaders whose articulate and powerful presence continues to make our country and world a better place; a freer place. Sengbe Piah didn t just free himself and his companions. What he did started many people thinking differently about slavery and grew beyond what he might have imagined filing away at his leg irons in the hold of the Amistad.
