Today we celebrate the life and work of Martin Luther King Junior, and on this special occasion we are happy to welcome Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers. In this episode, Deacon Harold sits down with Andrew Petiprin to discuss his first encounters with the writings of MLK and Fr. Tolton. They discuss the similarities between both heroic men who preached and embodied a message love over vengeance and bitterness.
This episode also addresses systemic racism and race relations inside the Church. Deacon Harold beautifully articulates that the Catholic Church is a Church for all people and that to bring about a larger cultural change, we focus our attention on changing the minds and hearts of individuals.
