Legendary liberal W.W. Finlator fought segregation, poverty, war

A Raleigh NC newspaper quoted Finlator in 1979 as saying, "the more I understand the Christian faith, the more I see the Bible is concerned with justice. And I've found that if God has any prejudice at all, he's prejudiced on the side of the poor and the deprived and the disinherited. But the church seems to be on the other side."

William Wallace Finlator died July 3 at the age of 93. He was another giant of the faith who makes me proud to be a liberal!
