We Need a Spectacular Intervention

"...It's those women [in Nazi Germany] who stood outside of Rosenstrasse in the cold, demanding to be reunited with their husbands. It's their husbands, defying the orders that they must ignore their wives. It's the soldiers putting down their guns and saying, 'I'm not firing on a bunch of unarmed women!' That's the power we have -- to confront the demands of an unjust society. To cause a scene that renders us awake to the political realities of our time. And to wield our collective power wisely together to jam the wheels of injustice. That's a spectacular intervention -- and a spectacular intervention is what we need. So let's get up and get going!"   Sermon by Andre Henry at All Saints Church, Pasadena, on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Sunday, January 19, 2020. Readings: Exodus 3:7-12 and Luke 6:27-36.
