Last time I saw him was in Chicago a few years ago. We shook hands and held
on. I’m so glad. I liked and respected Charles, but hardly understood him, nor
him me, I am sure.</font></font></div>

kind of spirit man. I can imagine the process of his thinking from reading
the Holcombe UMC and Randy Williams articles. He sensed his time was running out
on how to change history, but by-god he committed himself to doing just
that in some way or other. </font></div>

brought to a deeper reflection on how we change our nations and the Earth
community. </span></div>

obviously very intentionally decided to do what he did. Do I wish he
hadn’t? Yes. Do I understand his internal grappling with the state of
things these days? I think we all do. Will we be able to forget this event?
No. Will it cause us to reflect deeper about our given role in history?
Yes.</span></div>
