- <p> THEOLOGY LESSON. Sammy Davis Jr. turned heads at the
- N.A.A.C.P.'s Image Awards ceremony last month by thanking Jesus
- for standing by him during a bout with throat cancer. Some
- wondered if Davis, who converted to Judaism in the 1950s, had
- become a born-again Christian. Not so, says Davis. He was so
- overcome by the sea of black faces that he "immediately went
- back to my upbringing. My grandmother used to go around saying
- `Thank Jesus.' It's more of a black thing to say `Praise
- Jesus' than a religious thing or a denominational thing."
