Without justice, equity, and compassion, there is no freedom. So many freedoms are
continually threatened, attacked, and stolen, including the freedom to live, violently
denied so many, even in our own American schools and temples. The celebration
memorializing Rev. Dr. MLK Jr. today must, therefore, be a call to re-evaluate, at long last,
what justice and freedom mean in America. Let us worship together, calling up the sacred
and the spiritual in the question of, “How can we live justice, equity, and compassion in all
human relations so that we may truly be free?
