We will remember that he sought justice for all people.
Who are our leaders today? Who is seeking justice for all people today?
We still have a long way to go until there is justice for all people. We still have a long way to go until all people are treated equally.
Today, Hispanics/Latinos, along side other minorities and immigrants, are seeking justice.
The Pew Hispanic Center did a survey and asked Hispanics/Latinos: Who is the Most Important Latino Leader in the country today?
64% of the people surveyed said they did not know and 10% said no one.
How can the Untied Methodist Church be a beacon of Hope for Hispanics/Latinos and how can the United Methodist Church lead the way in the journey towards justice for all?
A great Hispanic leader, I see in the United Methodist Church, is Bishop Minerva G. Carcano. She is the first Hispanic woman to be elected to the episcopacy. She has been a leader who has spoken out against the injustices of our current immigration system and against the negative treatment towards Hispanics/Latinos.
I am so excited that Bishop Carcano will be coming to preach and teach at the Detroit Annual Conference. I am excited to hear her message.
May we continue to follow the lead of great leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Bishop Carcano in our journey towards justice for all. The journey that Jesus Christ calls us to take.
