Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children. . .It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. . . The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges. (MLK Aug. 28, 1963, 60 years ago)

Epiphany and Insurrection
Today, Jan. 6th is Epiphany and the 2nd anniversary of the Insurrection. What do you see in Matthew 2:1-18? Wise men seeking someone to whom to pay homage. Fear: Herod's fear that his rule and power might be challenged. Herod secretly scheming: "Bring me word so I too can pay homage." Joseph, Mary and Jesus fleeing by night to Egypt: refugees. Herod killing ALL the children two years old or younger. Weeping and wailing. We, too, follow the Epiphany star.
