“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. That is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant." That’s what the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King said.

Jesus, who is truth and love and ultimate reality, says it this way. “I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

“O God, you made us in your own image and redeemed us through Jesus your Son: Look with compassion on the wholehuman family; take away the arrogance and hatred which infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us; unite us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish your purposes on earth; that, in your good time, all nations and races may serve you in harmony around your heavenly throne; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (For the Human Family – BCP)
