This coming week we celebrate the memory of the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., a man whose vision and courage continue to inspire millions of people around the world. As you most certainly know, he dedicated his life to the struggle for equality, justice, and peace. His famous “I Have A Dream” speech remains a powerful call to unity and siblingship.
When the world seems full of chaos, hatred, violence and all forms of discrimination it’s important to come together as a community of hope and love to feel the unity and beauty of the human condition, and to give us a new impulse of strength and courage to bear witness to our determination to build a better world.
