Whites-only conference causes consternation

A pastor in Alabama has drawn criticism for holding a conference for white Christians only. As Ku Klux Klan flags and white supremacy slogans surround the conference, the Rev. Mel Lewis insisted, “We're not violating any ordinances. We're bringing the Word of God to people who want it…” The conference will conclude with a cross being set on fire Friday night. Organizers say it's not a cross-burning, but rather sacred Christian cross lighting.



          Seeing The White

They said it’s nothing pers’nal;
We should get off their backs;
They’re just a bunch of white guys
That don’t hang out with blacks.

Three Klansmen started drinking
To repent for when they sinned;
They downed so many bottles,
They were three sheets to the wind.

To light up the word of Jesus,
To which they all aspire,
They took out books of matches
And set a cross on fire.
