“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the year of the 40th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s assassination, his words continue to ring true. We honor his legacy by working to restore justice for the people of the United States of America, and for the people of Iraq. Our service on April 13 was part of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee’s “Justice Sunday 2008.” In concert with hundreds of other UU congregations around the country, we lifted up how the war in Iraq has drained this nation’s resources, creating a humanitarian crisis in Iraq, and leaving a multitude needs at home unmet — including the disgraceful lack of resources and commitment to rebuild the Gulf Coast.
