Litney of Commemoration

Leader: We remember his conviction that, “freedom is never

voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by

the oppressed.”

People: Therefore, we pray for courage and determination in those

who are oppressed.

Leader: We remember his warning that, “a negative peace which is

the absence of tension is less than a positive peace which is

the presence of justice”.

People: Therefore, we pray that those who work for peace in our

world may cry out first for justice.

Leader: We remember his insight that, “injustice anywhere is a

threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an

inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of

destiny. What ever affects one directly affects all indirectly.”

People: Therefore, we pray that we may see nothing in isolation, but

may know ourselves bound to one another.

Leader: We remember his lament that, “the contemporary church is

often a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. It

is so often the arch-supporter of the status quo. Far from

being disturbed by the presence of the church, the power

structure of the average community is consoled by the

church’s silent and often vocal sanction of things as they are.”

People: Therefore, we pray that Christ’s people will not be silent in the

face of wrong, but that we may be disturbers of the status quo

when that is God’s call to us.

Leader: We remember his hope that, “dark clouds of racial prejudice

will soon pass away and the deep fog of misunderstanding will

be lifted from our fear-drenched communities and in some

not-too-distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and

brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their

scintillating beauty.”

Together: Therefore, in faith, let us commend ourselves and our work

for justice to the goodness of almighty God. Amen.
