King & Carter

As we remember and celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today, I want to continue to learn about MLK and discover ways to continue his legacy in my daily life. I am struck by how much MLK had in common with Jimmy Carter. They were only four years apart in age, and even though the late President Jimmy Carter and Martin Luther King, Jr. never met each other, their philosophies were in alignment. It feels incongruent to honor MLK on the same day as Trump’s inauguration, but hold onto MLK’s words that ring truer today than ever before!  “We need leaders not in love with money but in love with justice. Not in love with publicity but in love with humanity.” Check out the show notes for links to today's Nyack NAACP service at Pilgrim Baptist Church and suggestions for meaningful ways to honor Martin Luther King, Jr. Enjoy the podcast!
