We take to heart these mighty words of The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr., spoken in 1963, in our pledge for justice and compassion in every facet of our human interaction and in our spiritual expression:

\\u201cAs we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.\\u201d

\\u201cWith this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope . . . .\\u201d

\\u201cWith this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together . . . .\\u201d

\\u201cWith this faith we will be able . . . to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. . . . Let freedom ring!\\u201d
