Becoming Beloved Community in a Hate-filled Time
|
In 1966, Dr. Martin Luther King wrote the following words in a defense of non-violence as the only way to true and lasting freedom: "Our goal is to create a beloved community, and this will require a qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our lives (Non-violence: The Only Road to Freedom). For King the beloved community was a society with economic and social justice for all. It was a society in which the color of your skin, your ethnic background, or your religious affiliation were not your fundamental identity. Every person was a beloved child of God, made in the image of God, deserving of love and respect. The beloved community was God's vision for society.
