Letters of light for first ladies cont.
"Rev. C's ministry represents freedom to break away from conventional thinking and the traditional norms of ministerial life and congregational expectations. It represents freedom and the right to have a life and a ministry apart from the ministers to whom we are married... Her ministry represents freedom to 'become.'"
—from the Foreword by Denise Brown Hunter. First Lady, First African Methodist Episcopal Church Los Angeles, California
