Brad Braxton, No Longer Slaves: Galatians and African American Experience (37)

"We must honestly admit that some Christian communities are notorious for ignoring or trying to suppress the word of God. Notable examples would include certain Christian communities' long-time support of chattel slavery, silence and inactivity during the Holocaust, and even the ongoing oppression of women by certain segments of the Christian church. Yet in every age, and in every community, the Spirit is not left without a witness, and the Spirit will send or raise up prophets in communities. These prophets will see different things in the world and in the Scriptures, and their testimony (hopefully and eventually) will convict and convince communities to see things – in the world, in the biblical text, and in themselves – differently."
