We did a lot of laughing today, to some extent, at the expense of those who disagree with us. But let's remember, no matter how passionately Martin Luther King spoke about the wrongs he saw and the changes he advocated, he always, always spoke in the language of love and nonviolence and peace. I remember when one of our clergy read that well-known, but never tired, passage from Corinthians. Now we know in part, but then we shall know even as we are known. And we all see through the glass darkly.
Nobody has to whole truth.
We should remember that, and we should ask them to. And, finally, let me say I think he would say that this is going to be a great age of possibility, the 21st century. And many will do very well. If you think about the characteristics of this time, people care more about their racial and their ethnic identities. If that builds pride and self-esteem and gets people back to good values that we all share, it is a good thing.
