<p> THEOLOGY LESSON. Sammy Davis Jr. turned heads at the
N.A.A.C.P.'s Image Awards ceremony last month by thanking Jesus
for standing by him during a bout with throat cancer. Some
wondered if Davis, who converted to Judaism in the 1950s, had
become a born-again Christian. Not so, says Davis. He was so
overcome by the sea of black faces that he "immediately went
back to my upbringing. My grandmother used to go around saying
`Thank Jesus.' It's more of a black thing to say `Praise
Jesus' than a religious thing or a denominational thing."
