    For a long time nothing much has changed for the poor black congregation of the Sweet Pilgrim Baptist Church of Clearwater, Mississippi. Eastertime has dutifully rolled around again. The azaleas are in bloom. And then off in the distance comes a wondrous music-a music that thunders throughout the sky with sweet majesty.
