And then he said

One of the reasons that people go to church is that good speakers many times become pastors. And I mean really good speakers, here I think of Joel Osteen or the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King.

At a Methodist college, faculty are required to dress in regalia and attend convocations. Today there was a Martin Luther King day convocation. Our speaker was Dr. Albert J.D. Aymer, president of Hood Theological Seminary, Salisbury, North Carolina. His message was, of course, about Dr. King.

He said that Dr. King had four basic beliefs:
1) All people should be treated equally
2) We should eradicate poverty
3) Unbridled capitalism is dangerous
4) War is abominable

He asked us if Dr. King's dreams have been fulfilled.

In his beautiful booming voice, Dr. Aymer asked, "Is the dream fulfilled?"

And if it isn't, what will you do about it?

What will I do about it? What will I do?
