Prophets, heroes, martyrs and good men [part one]

1/15/1929 - 4/4/1968, thirty-nine years old

"Whenever the Church, consciously or unconsciously, caters to one class it loses the spiritual force of the 'whosoever will, let him come' doctrine, and is in danger of becoming little more than a social club within a thin veneer of religiosity." - MLK jr., in his autobiography.

Obviously there are many amazing quotes from this man, but this one is dear to me. It reminds me of his love for the Church. What he did was more than call for equality; he proclaimed the Kingdom of God, like the prophets of old.
