I posted this to my Facebook page in January 2013 - and want to archive here.
My students are always surprised when I tell them that the power of MLK's I Have A Dream speech, in part, emerged from the fact that it was a polished sermon, preached many times before.
I use this as an appeal to Minister's to merge their religious proclamation - with deliberate actions & responsible social & politic policy that include the Bible's central themes of love, justice & peace!
