Washington to Martin Luther King, Jr. As in all other periods of unbearable pressure, as in the 1850s and the 1880s, nationalist pressures grew. After Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935, Haile Selassie became a national hero and mass meetings were held all over Black America for the oppressed blacks of Africa. In the same decade, there was a dawning sense of identification with the nonwhites of Asia. It is no wonder, then, in this climate of despair, that nationalist organizations grew. There was, for example, the 49th State movement, which was led by Oscar C. Brown, a Chicago leader who asked the government to detach part of Texas and create an-all black state. A second and more important expression of the same mood was the founding of the Nation of Islam by a mystery man named W.D. Fard and Elijah Poole, the son of a Georgia preacher. Taking the name of Elijah Muhammad, Poole established temples in Detroit, Chicago, and other Northern centers and proclaimed a program that was reminiscent of the Marcus Garvey crusade. The Muslims called for total separation of black and white Americans and indicated their disdain for white civilization by dropping their “slave” names and substituting the letter “X.” Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So Congregation Response: AMEN! Eucharistic Prayer PRIEST: O God, of heaven and earth, with grateful and uplifted hearts, we come before You, worshipping in spirit and truth. Mothering and Fathering, you have kept a spiritual home where to we, you scattered, exiled, wandering and lonely children might return to recognize each other in our sharing of a common spirit. Gathered thus into Your family circle, our thankfulness wells up into a song of praise to glorify Your works for endless days: CONGREGATION WITH CHOIR: Holy, Holy, Holy! PRIEST: O Holy God, holy mighty One, holy immortal One, we thank You for Your wonderful works: CONGREGATION: We thank You, that one day You dispatched for glory You darling Son Jesus Christ, that He might walk our walk, and talk our talk, and grant to each of us a right to the tree of Life. We thank you for having identified with the outcasts of this world and the denied people of the universe. Lord God, we thank You that even in our darkest hour, You keep our hope alive. Singing with faith and with love, facing the rising sun of a new day begun, somehow we find the strength to march on, knowing that we shall overcome. PRIEST: And now, font of every blessing, whose spirit makes everything alive, breathe upon those offerings and let them become the body and the blood of Jesus the Christ, our Lord, who has called us to celebrate this great mystery. PRIEST: On the night He was betrayed, He took bread and gave You thanks and praise. He broke the bread, gave it to His disciples and said: Take this all of you, and eat it: This is my Body which will be given up for you. When supper was ended, He took the cup. Again, He gave You thanks and praise, gave the cup to His disciples, and said: Take this, all of you, and drink from it: This is the cup of my Blood, the Blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all people, so that sins may be forgiven. Do this is in memory of me. PRIEST: Let us proclaim the mystery of faith CONGREGATION WITH CHOIR: Christ has died. Christ is risen, Christ will come again. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! PRIEST: Even as we your thankful children remember the wonderful works of Your salvation made manifest in Jesus Christ, even so remember us when your kingdom comes. Let the Pentecostal flame burn bright upon the head of George our Patriarch, our clergy, those in formation and discernment of ordained ministry and the people of God of the AACC. Keep us in communion with the saints, with Mary, the mother of Jesus, Joseph, her husband and all our unnamed foreparents and ancestors who have one your holy will throughout the ages. Through Him, with Him, In Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is Yours almighty God, forever and ever. CONGREGATION WITH CHOIR: “Amen.” Church Information Evangelize!
