America
has become the Catholic Church of five hundred years ago. [What about the UK?] Our culture has become
arrogant and is characterized by shallowness, division and complacency. We talk
at each other and seem wholly incapable of genuinely listening. We've seen the
hope and change that our leaders promise, but their failure to follow through
sickens us. The name-calling, pettiness, finger-pointing and hypocritical double
standards are out of control.
As
such, America [The UK] is in need of its own Martin Luther, an individual who is humble
yet courageous enough to stand up and speak out against the status quo. America
is ripe for the kind of transformation that can only come when there is genuine
courage marked by true humility.
