One of the highlights of our last visit to Nashville (way back in April) was getting the opportunity to hear Will Campbell speak. I hadn’t known much of the man beforehand, but his incredible stories had a deep impact. His outspoken critiques of the Southern Baptist Convention’s hijacking of USian Christianity may also have had a role in endearing him to me…
The Nashville Scene recently had a great profile of Campbell that’s well worth a look. Now I really must get round to checking the library for his books.
