“I’ve Been to the Mountaintop”

One of the complaints of this era is: Where is the vision that can guide us in this era? And who will offer that vision? In an address on April 3, 1968, days before his assassination, Martin Luther King Jr. told the people of Memphis, TN (and the world) that he had “Been to the Mountaintop,” echoing Moses who was leading his people to the Promised Land. In a time when so much feels unstable, let us examine the relationship between the valley and the mountaintop, and discover where we can find an authentic manifestation of liberation for all of us in 2022.
