”I do not think God approves the death penalty for any crime – rape and murder included. Capital punishment is against the best judgment of modern criminology and, above all, against the highest expression of love in the nature of God.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Dr. King’s message on equality is what is remembered today but his even more fundamental call to love indiscriminately and to refuse all forms of violence is, sadly, forgotten (much like Jesus).In honor of Dr. King, let us re-committ ourselves to abolishing hate from our hearts and capital punishment, violence, and war from the reality of our lives.
