Publisher's Synopsis
Lead Me On, Let Me Stand: A Clergyman's Story in White and Black is a moving, passionate memoir of a life of ministry by a devoted pastor striving to bring together things that tend to pull apart - the church and the world, women and men, old and young, straights and gays, works and faith, the Deep South and the Far North, blacks and whites. His ministry has taken him to Boston, Washington, D.C. and finally, again, to New Orleans where his work has continued. A humble, fervent crusader for social justice, Barnwell offers readers a unique look at the public and personal life of a committed man of faith and action.
