'All Things Being Equal Are Not' • THE WOODY SHAW QUINTET • LIVE in France • 1979

 

🎺One of the greatest and last to ever do it with a top flight ensemble right here. A truly outstanding performance in its entirety, but the real pearl not to be missed begins at the 29:00 mark - with the reflectively exquisite All Things Being Equal Are Not...⚖️

Apple: 1(!) out of 123 executives (0.8%)

Cisco: 5 out of 285 executives (1.75%)

Facebook: 32 out of 1053 executives (3%)

KJV BROMANCE: Why Do Black Christians Have Such an Affection for the King James Bible?

    

Black Apolodemic | MEDIUM

I was raised in the Black Baptist Church. There is a lot of tradition, pomp and circumstance in the Black Baptist Church as there is throughout most Black Christian Churches. There are also some artifacts. One such artifact is the pew.

The church pew two main purposes: they seat congregants in the front and hold items on the back. On the back of every pew, there is a place holder for fans, books and communion cups. In the Black Baptist church, you will only find two books in the back of every pew: the King James Bible (KJV) and the New National Baptist Hymnal.
