Martin Luther King, Jr.
"If the church does not recapture its prophetic zeal, it will become
an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual authority. If the
church does not participate actively in the struggle for peace and for
economic and racial justice, it will forfeit the loyalty of millions and
cause men everywhere to say that it has atrophied its will. But if the
church will free itself from the shackles of a deadening status quo,
and, recovering its great historic mission, will speak and act
fearlessly and insistently in terms of justice and peace, it will
enkindle the imagination of mankind and fire the souls of men, imbuing
them with a glowing and ardent love for truth, justice, and peace. Men
far and near will know the church as a great fellowship of love that
provides light and bread for lonely travelers at midnight."
~Martin Luther King, Jr. from his sermon, “A Knock at Midnight.
