The Cross and the Lynching Tree: Ep.1: When Faith Faces Terror

Host Connie Morris reads James H. Cone’s Chapter One from The Cross and the Lynching Tree, exploring how the crucifixion and the lynching tree function as public executions that reveal America’s engineered racial violence and the church’s complicity.

This episode examines why the cross became a source of strength for Black believers amid terror, challenges the silence of white Christianity, and urges listeners to confront systems that normalize injustice.
