Comments from John Cobb

For Jesus, how we relate to our enemies is the most  distinctive mark of his message.  The twentieth century person who picked this up was a Hindu, Mahatma Gandhi. His work caught the attention of Martin Luther King.  These two men impress me as authentic disciples of Jesus.  Astonishingly, both were remarkably successful. They should be widely followed, but most people do not find it practical to love their enemies and teach others to do so.

The experience of Blacks in the United States, long as slaves, but then as segregated, impoverished,  and bullied labor provided millions of reasons for resentment and anger toward Whites.  If I had their heritage, I suspect that if I came from their experience, I would rejoice in all the suffering we Southern Whites, in our turn, have brought on ourselves. I would probably add to it when I could.. But recent history is not cluttered with incidents of Black revenge.  On the contrary many Blacks seem to wish us well. We trust them  with  much of the care of our young children.  How fortunate we are that their leader has taught them to love us in spite of everything.  How wonderful that they learned from a truly great teacher.
