In the 1960s, Martin Luther King Jr. spoke the memorable words, "I have a dream." Was he to be dismissed as a dreamer, living in a dreamworld? - No! His "influence and leadership during the troubled 1960s may have saved America from a bloody racial civil war." "He did more than any other individual of the 20th century to make black emancipation a political and social fact in modern America." Are we - in the first decade of the 21st century - dreaming when we dream of better things for Christ in our congregations and communities? - Yes! We are dreamers - but let's remember this: dreams have a way of becoming reality when we take them seriously and act upon them!
