In 1905, the Rev. Charles Albert Tindley, an African American Methodist minister composed the song, “The Storm is Passing Over.” Regarded as one of the founders of gospel music, Rev. Tindley begins the song with “Courage, O soul, and let us journey on.” How do we find courage in these times to keep journeying toward a world of greater acceptance and affirmation? Perhaps Rev. Tindley’s journey can inspire us all.
