"... He acknowledged that times were difficult and many people had enormous problems. It was, after all, the Depression. He did his best to provide hope to his following, without mention of God or Jesus, and to engage in citywide social action with various civic organizations. ... His true genius was that he simply talked directly to his congregation, both on the radio and in the church, as if they were intelligent people who wanted to lead good lives. He tried to encourage them and keep their hope alive" #uptownchicago #thepeopleschurch #prestonbradleycenter #prestonbradley #poorpeoplescampaign #revolution #freedom #liberation #activism #organizing #loveyourneighbor #lovethyneighbor #grace #nonjudgementallove #martinlutherking #mlk #mlksdream #unitarianuniversalist #religion #spirituality #progressive (at Preston Bradley Center)

Designed by J.E.0. Pridmore in 1926. These seats feature wire hat racks underneath. "This church, designed by a renowned theater architect, boasts a main auditorium that seats over 1200 on three levels. The sanctuary is noted for its superb acoustics – and for eschewing typical church design elements. The building was renamed in honor of Dr. Preston Bradley, pastor of the church for 66 years and member of the Chicago Public Library board for 50 years. From this building, Bradley was the first Chicago preacher to broadcast services, a ministry which reached a national audience of millions for decades—and inspired Guiding Light, the longest-running soap opera of all time. The small congregation is quite active, and welcomes other nonprofits' use of the building, including the Uptown Arts Center, Lakeside Pride Symphonic Band, and others. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000 as part of the Uptown Square Historic District." From http://ift.tt/2gKSnjs...

Does Rodney have any true enemies?

// Yes, pretty much 99% of the Socs. Mainly, Hunter, Noah, and Preston are probably most notable as his true enemies.

Letter to Preston

That sounds so morbid but I promise I don't mean it to be! It's just that I'm sorry for loving having such a crush on you, because I know it couldn't have been easy, and I'm sorry for all those times when I was selfish and angry. I think you might have blamed yourself for some things and that makes me sad - nothing was your fault. Nothing was anyone's fault, even though I might have felt like it was at some points.

When I first met you, you were kind of just like an angel to me. You were so kind and charming and handsome and you danced with me and a lot of who I became in this town was because of you - like, I joined cheerleading because you suggested it to me and that's one of the best things I've ever done. When I was around you I never felt dirty or worthless and the things that happened to me before I came here didn't seem to matter. And I guess I just kind of pictured you as the hero from all those stories I'd read - y'know, like Prince Charming come to rescue me. But that's silly, no one's a character from a story, and I know that now.

I'm sorry for the times I got angry or upset with you or I didn't want to talk to you - it wasn't because of you, not really, it was just that I didn't know what else to do... I don't know how to explain it but I was never really angry at you, and I never really blamed you for anything, and I'm really sorry for the times that it seemed like I did. I just want you to know that I really truly forgive you.

I'm really sorry for making you feel guilty about, y'know, nicknames and silly things like that, and for any times I made you feel guilty ever. I didn't want to ever be the reason you're not happy.

And you are happy now! You're happy with Rosie and I really am glad, I promise, and I think you two are meant to be. You two being happy means a lot more to me than some silly crush of mine, haha. Your happiness makes it worth it that I didn't get you, and hers does too. I didn't really ever deserve you anyway. You are still an angel, but as much as I wish you were, you're not mine.

Anyway, I'm leaving Tulsa and I really hope you don't forget me because I couldn't ever forget you. But I don't want you to remember the bad things, or at least don't hold on to them - just remember the good moments, yeah? And forgive yourself, in case you haven't already, forgive yourself for Kitty as well. I'll miss you so much and I'll think of you always, and I'll always be hoping that you're happy. I'm sorry and I forgive you and thank you so much for making this place so wonderful for me. You're my best friend, and that's a lot more important than a crush.

I'll always remember you, and I'll always remember 'Georgia on my mind' and dancing at Mel's and Christmas day, and a part of me will always love you I'm really hoping you remember too. So, goodbye, Preston. The world is what you make it. :)

Lots of love, Hugs and butterfly kisses, Georgina Roberts

P.S. I know I never told you everything, and I'm sorry for all the times I lied to you about my old life - because there were a lot of them - it's just that it's really hard to tell.
