MLK on the authority of the church

On 2 July 2010, in MLK, quote, by emergingpastor

The church must be
reminded that it is not the master or the servant
of the state, but rather the conscience of the state. It
must
be the guide and the critic of the state, and never its
tool. If the
church does not recapture its prophetic zeal, it will
become an
irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual
authority.

Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength to
Love, 1963.
