S1E49: Polemic

1. What is the role of disciplined, godly, thoughtful polemic in facing today’s unique challenges? 2. What place do the arts (drama, literature, music, etc.) and religion play in it all? The title is a wordplay on our precious civil rights anthem. The song we sing is an example of creative, righteous indignation against any injustice, led by, as usual, creators. Collaborators on the Humanité project were mostly from other countries experiencing similar challenges. The singer & cowriter on this song, Asa, is from Nigeria.  The idea is that the whole world, not just the US, is experiencing this together. And religion, the arts, academia et al must play our roles in prayerful, measured ways.  Is it OK to pray for someone to fail?  What are the alternatives for people of good will who see evil being perpetrated against the vulnerable?
