Martin Luther King is another
example of faith based activists,
2
00:00:04.836 --> 00:00:09.358
a mystic activist who was inspired
by the Sermon on the Mount
3
00:00:09.383 --> 00:00:10.835
and by Jesus his life.
4
00:00:10.860 --> 00:00:13.539
And in fact,
he said if I'm remembering this
5
00:00:13.564 --> 00:00:17.848
exactly that Gandhi
provided the approach
6
00:00:17.873 --> 00:00:21.294
and Jesus provided
the example something like that
7
00:00:21.319 --> 00:00:24.231
to this work of activism.
8
00:00:24.256 --> 00:00:29.950
And in King you know, he like,
a statement he often makes
9
00:00:29.975 --> 00:00:32.887
the arc of the moral universe
bends toward justice.
10
00:00:32.912 --> 00:00:34.981
Now he found that from poetry,
11
00:00:35.014 --> 00:00:39.379
but what made him
believe it was his faith.
12
00:00:39.404 --> 00:00:42.317
And he had an undying faith
13
00:00:42.342 --> 00:00:46.362
in the fact that we could make this
world better by working for justice
14
00:00:46.387 --> 00:00:50.216
and that ultimately
justice would win out.
15
00:00:50.241 --> 00:00:52.809
And that guided him throughout
his life even in times
16
00:00:52.834 --> 00:00:56.169
where he was very discouraged
with the day to day realities.
17
00:00:56.194 --> 00:00:59.277
He always had a vision for what
he called the beloved community
18
00:00:59.302 --> 00:01:03.320
or as he even later when he
began to become more interfaith
19
00:01:03.345 --> 00:01:05.421
in his approach he called
The World House.
