Creating divisions

After a meeting on May 2 with SBC leaders, Dr. Richard Land decided that he should apologize for impugning the motives of the reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton for statements they made in the Trayvon Martin case.

While I agree with Dr. Land that “God alone is the searcher of men’s hearts,” I am not convinced that their motives cannot be discerned by hearing and observing what they say and do, especially when the success of their endeavors depends on creating divisions between groups or classes of Americans.
