"But though I was initially disappointed

at being categorized as an extremist, as I continued to think about the matter I gradually gained

a measure of satisfaction from the label. Was not Jesus an extremist for love: "Love your

enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which

despitefully use you, and persecute you." Was not Amos an extremist for justice: "Let justice roll

down like waters and righteousness like an ever flowing stream." Was not Paul an extremist for

the Christian gospel: "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." Was not Martin Luther an

extremist: "Here I stand; I cannot do otherwise, so help me God." And John Bunyan: "I will stay

in jail to the end of my days before I make a butchery of my conscience." And Abraham Lincoln:

"This nation cannot survive half slave and half free." And Thomas Jefferson: "We hold these

truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal . . ." So the question is not whether we

will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. Will we be extremists for hate or for

love? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice or for the extension of justice? In

that dramatic scene on Calvary's hill three men were crucified. We must never forget that all

three were crucified for the same crime–the crime of extremism. Two were extremists for

immorality, and thus fell below their environment. The other, Jesus Christ, was an extremist for

love, truth and goodness, and thereby rose above his environment. Perhaps the South, the

nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists."
