Articles and Statements Regarding the Use of Violence



My Uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a servant of Jesus Christ. Using non-violence as a strategy, and the Bible as a weapon of love, Dr. King led the movement to overcome the constraints of racism during his lifetime. This same strategy, the non-violent love of God, is what is needed to promote the culture of life today.  -- Evangelist Alveda King, Pastoral Associate, Priests for Life
