Presiding Elder Emeritus, Reverend Chester Morris: Born to Preach the Word of God!
from Linda Grace Morris: Baltimore Boomer Tales from the Hood · host Linda Grace Morris
Send us Fan MailI first met Reverend Chester Morris, his lovely wife, Deborah, and his young daughter, Theresa, in about 1977 when I drove my Mother back home to the Eastern Shore of Virginia for the first time after she left as a child in 1931 as part of the Great Migration. Up until then, I had heard my Mom, and her eight siblings talk about their happy lives growing up in Nassawadox, Virginia. As I got older and learned more about segregation--I had lived under it until I was 16 years old when the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed allegedly ending Jim Crow--I could not comprehend how the life that they found so much joy in recalling could possibly have been happy. However, after talking with Reverend Morris today, I am reminded that joy is given to us by God and cultivated through our relationship with Him. If you need some joy today, listen to this episode.Make every moment count! E-mail me at [email protected] and tell me in 25 words or less why I should interview you.
