In those days the church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society… Things are different now. So often the contemporary church is a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. So often it is an archdefender of the status quo. Far from being disturbed by the presence of the church, the power structure of the average community is consoled by the church’s silent–and often even vocal–sanction of things as they are. - Martin Luther King, Jr. Im not saying I agree with Jeremys assessment of the change that needs to be brought to the church, but I do appreciate Martin Luther Kings assessment of the situation.
