Published: April 29, 2015, 4 p.m.

b'As rioting erupts in the city of Baltimore\\xa0following the death of\\xa0Freddie Gray while in police custody, the black church is struggling to find the right voice to speak for and to them. The younger generation does not want to hear the voices of yesterday and are yearning for fresh voices to speak to their angst and anger. One such voice is Jamal Bryant, Pastor of Empowerment Temple AME Church in Baltimore. He has been pushed to the forefront of a growing Black Lives Matter movement. How can the black church help find and nurture the new prophetic voices of today? Is there a need for new prophetic voices or is it time for the black church to settle? Join Pastor Neal for this and other topics.'
