As James' pastor, I can say that scarcely has the earth seen such faith as in James Cone. Despite incredible suffering, he never denied his God and Lord, and he received the Lord's Supper with joy. I will never forget James, and rejoice that when Jesus comes again, James will have his resurrection body. Pr. Evan McClanahan, First Evangelical Lutheran Church, James' congregation from birth to death

To family and friends, accept my condolences. I was at Lutheran High, 1961-1963. Contact me if I may help in any way. My prayers are with you all.
