We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. MLK Jr: "Letter from Birmingham Jail."
I love this quote because it represents the best about what we are to be to each other. Certainly MLK undertsood what it meant as a community to struggle for common goals. As a Christian, he had a firm grasp on identifying with the pain and needs of others. It is my belief that the Church can also identify with the words of MLK here. What would it look like if a community of Christians truly felt this way about each other? I can look back on my life and pick out a time when I sensed this kind of mutuality and fellowship with other Christians. I believe that if a community of believers can truly focus on pursuing God together and delight in each other, they too can experience the kind of unity MLK describes here.
