On 1/31/08, Thursday, at 7:30 pm at the Village
Hall we will have a public viewing of the video
recording of the Bill Moyer's 35 minute interview of
James Cone. In the interview Cone defends his theme of
the relationship of the Christian Cross & the Lynching
Trees of the South. This will be followed by an open discussion, led
by Dr. Edgar Rodriguez, of Cone's theme after the
viewing, to search for ways that we can apply it to
our local efforts to understand and address
institutional racism. The Green Party hopes that this will be useful
exercize that we can offer to our New Paltz community.
We hope that you will be able to participate. For

The link gives you the opportunity to see and hear an interview with
the author and theologian James Cone done on the Bill Moyers' Journal
program on PBS on 11/23/07. James Cone makes a dramatic and
powerful argument that the United States can not move forward at the
national or international level until it recognizes that it is not innocent.
He connects the Christian cross and the lynching trees of the South
as a problem similar to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ who represented
the powerless against the struggle of the powerful. He further argues in
detail that until mostly white Christians confront the myth of national
innocence our society can not progress.
