Sommario/riassunto

"In 1945, Karl Lutze was a young white pastor assigned to an African American church in Muskogee, Oklahoma. His experiences ministering to Black congregations there and, later, in Tulsa provide a unique perspective on the early civil rights movement in Oklahoma and within the Missouri Synod of the Lutheran Church"--Provided by publisher.
