Welcome to Madang!  'Madang is the outdoor living room of the world. Here, we invite you to sit and tune into unreserved, remarkable conversations with renown authors, leaders, public figures and scholars on religion, culture and everything in-between. This has been a dream of mine for many years and now it is. reality. Please join me at Madang.  This is the 23rd episode of Madang where I converse with Otis Moss III on his forthcoming book, Dancing in the Darkness. The Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III is senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois. He is a preacher, poet, activist, author, community organizer, scholar, filmmaker, and the founder of The Unashamed Media Group. In October 2020, Dr. Moss created “Otis’ Dream”, a short film about his grandfather’s unsuccessful attempt to vote in 1946. The film has received numerous awards and acclaim across the country. Dr. Moss was identified by the Baylor University George W. Truett Theological Seminary as “one of the twelve most effective preachers in the English language” in 2018. Along with his ministerial duties, he is also a Professor of Homiletics at Mercer University’s McAfee School of Theology in Atlanta, Georgia. So thankful to have Rev. Otis Moss III to discuss his forthcoming book, Dancing in the Darkness. Conversations about his open letter to his son, Elijah, Dr. King, Retribution, the genealogy in Matthew, spirituality and so much more.  I am thrilled to announce that Madang podcast is hosted by the Christian Century.  Please visit their website for the latest Madang podcast as well as current articles on Christianity, culture and society.
