Charlie Kendall’s personal manner displays a calm confidence that made interviewing him easy, almost too easy. As the director of tri-country outreach programs for Montgomery’s Frazer Memorial United Methodist Church, one of the largest Methodist churches in the US, Kendall's succinct answers cut straight to his ideas about some hard truths. As only the second interview in the series, his take on the reality of Alabama’s situation is steeped in the Christian ethic of helping those who need it most, specifically those among us who are poor and the uneducated. Kendall provides a coolly critical look at life in Alabama.
