How does a church live out its mission amid a changing culture? "A
Second Language" from Good Faith Media is a six-part narrative
podcast about Second Baptist Church in downtown Little Rock,
Arkansas, and how its location and leadership have shaped its
witness. Founded in 1884, the church grew as a hub for powerful
religious and political personalities on local, state and national
levels. Its influence touched on major issues of the day, including
alcohol and race. A turning point for the church occurred in 1957
during the city's integration crisis, when the church's Rev. Dale
Cowling and Congressman Brooks Hays were seen as too soft on the
race issue. The church continued to evolve, leading on some
critical issues while avoiding others, all in the context of rapid
cultural change. The podcast is a story about a mostly white
Baptist church in the South and what its experience can teach us
about life and death, hypocrisy and honesty, faith and fear – the
risk and reward -- of talking about hard things. "A Second
Language" includes interviews with church leaders and members,
historians, interfaith friends and community leaders, as well as
archival material.
