Jeffrey S. Lamp, Editor As I pen these words, we in the United States have recently observed the Martin Luther King, Jr., federal holiday. Over the long holiday weekend, my wife and I saw the motion picture, Just Mercy, a powerful and moving portrayal of a case in rural Alabama in the late 1980s of an African American man wrongfully convicted of a brutal murder. The film chronicled the efforts of a young civil rights lawyer to get his client a new trial so that evidence suppressed in the original trial might be presented in order to right the previous wrong. The events portrayed in the film, occurring some thirty years ago, continue, to our shame, to reflect the lives and conditions of many in minority communities today. Sadly, throughout its history, Christianity has often proven complicit in the perpetration of injustices against those outside of the spheres of power in the societies in which the Church is present. A movement that began with the ministry of an itinerant Jewish carpenter’s son who frequently kept company with outcast and oppressed members of society, a movement that found receptive audiences among those largely from the lower classes of the Greco-Roman world, soon found itself in seats of power in the Empire, and in the flow of history, would find itself a willing partner of those wielding power in the world.
