ity by doing God's work here on Earth … by housing the homeless； ministering to the needy； providing day care services and scholarships and prison ministries； and reaching out to those suffering from HIV/AIDS。
In my first book； Dreams From My Father； I described the experience of my first service at Trinity：
〃People began to shout； to rise from their seats and clap and cry out； a forceful wind carrying the reverend's voice up into the rafters。。。。And in that single note … hope！ … I heard something else； at the foot of that cross； inside the thousands of churches across the city； I imagined the stories of ordinary black people merging with the stories of David and Goliath； Moses and Pharaoh； the Christians in the lion's den； Ezekiel's field of dry bones。 Those stories … of survival； and freedom； and hope … became our story； my story； the blood that had spilled was our blood； the tears our tears； until this black church； on this bright day； seemed once more a vessel carrying the story of a people into future generations and into a larger world。 Our trials and triumphs became at once unique and universal； black and more than black； in chronicling our journey； the stories and songs gave us a means to reclaim memories that we didn't need to feel shame about。。
