Worship Service: The Path of Resistance: Let’s Talk about Non-Violence

Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote: “It must be emphasized that nonviolent resistance is not a method for cowards; it does resist…For while the nonviolent resister is passive in the sense that he is not physically aggressive toward his opponent, his mind and his emotions are always active, constantly seeking to persuade his opponent that he is wrong. The method is passive physically but strongly active spiritually. It is not passive non-resistance to evil, it is active nonviolent resistance to evil.” Let’s talk about nonviolent resistance.
