Do Better

This quote today is by Thurgood Marshall, US Supreme Court Justice. He writes of government. I think on this particular day it is also true of each church and each person within the United Methodist Church. Here’s the quote:

“We must dissent from the fear, the hatred, and the mistrust. We must dissent from a nation that buried its head in the sand waiting in vain for the needs of its poor, its elderly, and its sick to disappear and just blow away. We must dissent from a government that has left its young without jobs, education, or hope. We must dissent from the poverty of vision and timeless absence of moral leadership. We must dissent, because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better.”——Thurgood Marshall
