“They all hew to a single theme, put best by Elder J.E. Burch during a 1927 sermon recorded in Atlanta. His words could serve as this project’s mission statement. “The subject is wash,” he begins. “You wash ladies understand that it’s essential that you want your garments clean.

And you don’t wash, glory to God, with the natural water, but you wash with the word of God.” Say amen.”—Down by the River: Dust-to-Digital’s Latest Small Miracle :: Music :: Features :: Paste
