“It cannot be denied that too often the weight of the Christian movement has been on the side of the strong and the powerful and against the weak and oppressed—this, despite the gospel.”
-- Howard Thurman, Jesus and the Disinherited, 1949
#HowardThurman
"But the word, what was it? Not for the proud, not for the mighty, the dominant, aggressive cornerers
of the groans and struggles of the sweating masses. There is no future for the proud, only a past. The gaze of the powerful must always focus on yesterday."
#Quakers #HowardThurman
“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes obedience to God.” ✨️

"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it."
Don't merely exist in the moment.
What makes you come alive today?
Lean into it. That's where your impact grows.

A Prayer by Howard Thurman, 1951
#HowardThurman
"As the sea gull lays in the wind current, / So I lay myself into the spirit of God."
“War and the threat of war has covered us with heavy shadows,
Making the days big with forebodings—
The nights crowded with frenzied dreams and restless churnings.
We do not know how to do what we know to do.
We do not know how to be what we know to be.”
#HowardThurman
Howard Thurman, "Love or Perish"
#HowardThurman #love
"Our only responsibility is to love. Whether we are loved back, whether love becomes productive in ways that we can measure -- this is not our business. The nature of love, is to love!"

Howard Thurman, "Reconciliation", 1963
#HowardThurman #love
"There is nothing outside ourselves -- no circumstance, no condition, no vicissitude -- that can ultimately separate us from the love of God or of one another. And we pour out our gratitude to God that this is so!"

Happy birthday Howard Thurman !
Did you know that he wrote “Jesus and the Disinherited,” a book partly inspired by Gandhi’s approach and response to oppression via acts of radical nonviolence?

Howard Thurman, "Keep Alive the Dream in the Heart", 1951
#HowardThurman
"It is one with the living water welling up from the very springs of Being...The dream is the quiet persistence in the heart that enables a man to ride out the storms of his churning experiences."

"There were times when it seemed as if the earth and the river and the sky and I were one beat of the same pulse. It was a time of watching and waiting for what I did not know -- yet I always knew."
Howard Thurman, "Barren or Fruitful", 1932
#HowardThurman
"...under the compulsion of love, I send my life forth to do things that nothing else is capable of inspiring. I do gladly for Love's sake, what no power in heaven or hell could make me do without it."

There is something in every one of you that waits and listens for the sound of the genuine in yourself. It is the only true guide you will ever have. And if you cannot hear it, you will all of your life spend your days on the ends of strings that somebody else pulls.

Every #resistance needs #protesters and support people. #strategists #organizers #spiritualleaders #caregivers
I am physically unable to walk in a protest crowd, but I can feed and offer a place to sleep.
Where are our #HowardThurman #SeptimaClark #BayardRustin of today? They understand.
