Wherever
the early Christians entered a town the power structure got disturbed and
immediately sought to convict them for being “disturbers of the peace” and
“outside agitators”…. Things are different now. The contemporary church is
often a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. It is so often the
arch-supporter 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 vocal sanction of things as they are.
~Martin Luther King, Jr.
