Week 2--Response to Aaron's MLK Day post

I like Aaron's reflection on MLK on this day of remembering. As I read the quote and the post, I got to thinking how truly definitive of the Kingdom of God this is. At the heart of Jesus' teachings on the Kingdom is loving/helping others and loving God. Also, the only way we can truly love our neighbor is to understand him/her. This is why cultural and religious studies is so important. The "single garment of destiny" that Dr. King refers to consists of many different fabrics. If we are committed to struggle for one another as a community, we need to understand the different ways we relate to the world, and our peculiar and unique modes of "struggling." Only then can we be one seemless garment.
