- Description
- Herbert R. Moore Jr.'s paper, "It's Better to Be Wrong Than Asleep," explores the life and legacy of Beverly Roy Cosby, a Lynchburg, Virginia, minister known for his humble and transformative community work. Moore highlights Cosby's foundational role in the Church of the Covenant and Lynchburg Covenant Fellowship, emphasizing his commitment to inclusivity, justice, and serving the underprivileged. Drawing on personal anecdotes and contributions from those close to Cosby, the paper paints a portrait of a visionary leader whose impact on Lynchburg's social and religious landscape was profound, despite preferring to remain out of the spotlight. Cosby's philosophy—that making an effort is preferable to inaction—even if it leads to mistakes, underpins his lifelong dedication to service and community betterment.
