“…Beyond the pain, the injustice, and the suffering caused by all that is wrong in our world, lament declares a WORD that points beyond destruction to right action—action that lays down clear tracks to run on toward justice, equity and shared flourishing for all of humanity.  But that WORD needs to be delivered by THE RIGHT KIND OF LEADER in a way that catalyzes unity, oneness and shared momentum toward a common good, rather than the inflammatory rhetoric, incendiary tweets, defensive maneuvers, and partisan manipulation that so often characterizes moments of cultural change.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was that kind of leader.”
