Mattox of Collinsville and Charles Pickerings ADF was on Focus on the Family's live program July 4th and earlier. 4th was a repeat. He was talking about abortion on a Station in Bama that promotesJudge Roy Moore and the Tea Party Agenda.
Of thethree ministers sons who went to Duke and UVA,Casey,I'm convinced is in the minority.
In fact Matt Morgan's visiting Proff at Yale,Randall Balmer, has some insight into the politics of abortion in the severalbooks he'swritten,and his new one on President Carter is sure to advance the nuances of that wedge issue.

The Bham Weld has an ongoing series on the 50th anniversary of Civil Rights struggle in Alabama with resonances for my recent experience with the Collinsville Historical Association as witnessed above.
I will share that link soon.

Could become interesting indeed. Some may want to monitor this public facebook wall.
I just found it this morning and have made several comments there in addition to my blog post.Bruce Gourley should be particularly interested as his dissertation chair at Auburn, Wayne Flynt, almost certainly knows of this project

Rebecca Clayton, National Cathedral, Bonhoeffer and Collinsv

It was Rebecca Clayton of the Historical Association that said posts like this had nothing to do with Collinsville. I think it had everything to do with Collinsville just like Tracy Thompson's chapter on Daughters of the Confederacy gave her a predisposition on matters of Faith and history, if Ms. Clayton could understand the significance of Bonhoeffer coming through Collinsville in 1931 maybe just maybe.......

Among those who backed Miss Ollie Brindley's niece Rebecca Clayton and her decison of June in the wake of my spotlight on the CHA of Will Campbell and his Montgomery event were
1. Kay Smith, a cousin in law of the town librarian
2.Allison Myers Foster, daughter of Donnie Myers, Deacon at Collinsville Baptist. Donnie a former Salaried employee of the Dekalb Co School District as Assisstant Superintendent.
3. Casey Mattox, a 93 classmate of Allison, UVA Grad and Boston Law who now works closely with Charles Pickering on the Alliance Defending Freedom and D.C. Staff. July 4 Casey was on Tony Perkins live hr. long call in show with Focus in the Family. Casey is big on abortion issues and is most likely trying to bring the personhood amendment to Alabama
4. Tanya Cantrell Tillery school teacher and daughter of former Chief of Police in Town. Good basektball player
5. Pat Whittle Hancock of Cordele Ga. Don't know her well but gives every indication she could consider Tracy Thompson's chapter on Daughters of the Confederacy in New Mind of the South. I hope Mark Wilson and the AULD will encourage Ms Wilkins to get a copy for the local lybury with all the attention Collinsville is gettin recently
in the Bham News and elsewhere. There were 30 others, not the same that voted against me on May 28, 2006, but some

Eventually she'll show you the church cornerstone or have Donnie Myers point it out to you. And if he doesn't get the point across, Mrs Clayton is there for a second Lesson. I guess every experience is a little different, but Ms Snow found out in a few weeks, Ms Wilkins is the gatekeeper.

Mary Snow of Auburn Farewell Piece

Ms Snow published a wrap up piece about her stay in Collinsville today on the Living Democracy site also linked on their main facebook wall. I made two comments on the Facebook wall as well as linked it to the Collinsville PTO site with additional links there; those links included Miguel De La Torre's recent piece at ABPnews.com with challenges to the Immigration bill in the senate, and and ed.com link featuring UMC Bishop Willimon's experience in Alabama.
Will be interesting to see if Jennifer Wilkins The Force now in Collinsville Baptist and Ms Snow's main handler of her time in Collinsville has the wits and Christian integrity to encourage followup with House Speaker Hubbard, or her pastor's son Joseph Morgan who is in the Gadsden office of Congressman Aderholt.
I contacted Capitol Hill today about this project, roughly communicating what I stated above.

The Butler and Rebecca Clayton

I saw the movie today. Mrs. Clayton whose ideology best I can figure her out was burnished into her soul by a 1940's version of the Daughters of the Confederacy desperately needs some remedial reading and education on the lessons of the Civil War. A viewing of The Butler is a good place for her to start.
Her remarks of June 7 on the Facebook wall of the Collinsville Historical Association were uncalled for and misleading in her majority role in the community. It would be helpful when the Auburn Living Democracy project come to town with Mr. Simone of the Matthews Center they walk her through the great insights of Delbanco's recent review of the Cotton Kingdom of Slavery and the genius of Lincoln vis a vis the folks of the confederacy she worships. The concluding paragraphs of the New Republic article invoking Django Unchained should be explained to her. Maybe in the future she will understand what Civil Rights history here in this year of 50th Anniversary on the Eve of the national celebration of King's Dream Speech; why all that has "everything to do with Collinsville, Alabama!"
Lincoln's Long Game trumps Rebecca Clayton's myopia, nearsightedness
