[on the massacre of four young girls in Birmingham on September 15, 1963] The face of Jesus was blown out of one of the 16th Street Baptist Church's windows during the attack, an eerie and enduring symbol of a world where hate - at least in the moment of the bombing - overshadowed love. Today, a memorial window from the people of Wales depicts a crucified Jesus and a quotation from Matthew 25: 'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it to me'. The Jesus in the window is a black man, arms outstretched, reaching, it seems, to a future that is far closer to reality now than appeared possible fifty Septembers ago.
