Sunday Sermon, The Rev. Canon John Thompson-Quartey: “A Revolution of Love”

When the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was chosen to lead the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott, “he saw an opportunity to practice the revolution of love that began with Jesus,” preaches the Rev. Canon John Thompson-Quartey of the Diocese of Atlanta. Though he wasn’t pursuing it, God called King to national leadership. “I believe that the legacy Dr. Martin Luther King left us is one of courage and one of faith.” His pursuit of a world rooted in justice was cut short, but “the dream never died.” It’s the same vision we work toward today.
