Spend some time this week with Jae Escoto's poem, The Formula for Forgiveness, and let it help you remember that integrity is never really a purely individual task. We need each other. We need the culture to do the work too.

Remembering the Whole Legacy of Dr. King

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr was assassinated 50 years ago last Wednesday. Many people spent the week mourning his death and celebrating his life and his work. Or, for too many, celebrate a small par...Timeline PhotosRev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. famously wrote, "The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state. It must be the guide and the critic of the state, and never its tool. If the church does not recapture its prophetic zeal, it will become an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual authority."
I agree that we must reclaim our historic mission to be the conscience of this country and never its tool. And there is power in our institutions as Unitarian Universalists if we are but willing to use and leverage it, even sacrifice for it.
Today, so much is on the line and that is why we are called to live our faith out loud - to be our bravest, our boldest, our most loving selves, in the streets, in our congregations, in the halls of government, and in the voting booth. #MLKDay
