- <p> MAKING IT GOD'S COUNTRY

- <p> No town is more emblematic of the South's segregationist past
- than Selma, Alabama, where black Baptist clergyman Martin
- Luther King Jr. led a climactic civil rights march in 1965. But
- a racial line has now disappeared in Selma, as delegates from
- 24 congregations in Alabama's dominant Southern Baptist faith
- voted to admit the Freedom Baptist Church as the first black
- member of the city's Baptist association. Said newly entering
- pastor Letha Rumph: "I can see that a revival has begun in
- Selma." A white colleague, the Rev. Ron Davis, chimed in: "God
- won't let us fail."
