A special episode in memory of Dr. Vincent Harding (July 25, 1931 – May 19, 2014), from the National Association of Pan African Students special service in his honor at Iliff School of Theology, 5/17/17.

Texts are:

• Psalm 46: 1-7

• Excerpts from “There Is A River” and “Remnants

"Dr. Harding,

How did you do it?

With all that you saw and lived and bore,

How were you not just angry all the time, bitter?

Dr. Harding,

How did you love us,

The magnificent mess that we are, as you liked to say,

How did you love us so much,

So much?

There is a river,

A river that moves towards freedom."
