Paragraph 9 of 12

I have travelled the length and breadth of Alabama, Mississippi and all the other southern states. On sweltering summer days and crisp autumn mornings I have looked at her beautiful churches with their spires pointing heavenward. I have beheld the impressive outlay of her massive religious education buildings. Over and over again I have found myself asking: "Who worships here? Who is their God? Where were their voices when the lips of Governor Barnett dripped with words of interposition and nullification? Where were their voices of support when tired, bruised, and weary Negro men and women decided to rise from the dark dungeons of complacency to the bright hills of creative protest?"

Paragraph 10 of 12

There was a time when the Church was very powerful ... In those days the Church was not merely a thermometer that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; it was a thermostat that transformed the mores of society. Wherever the early Christians entered a town the power structure got disturbed and immediately sought to convict them for being "disturbers of the peace" and "outside agitators." Things are different now. The contemporary Church is so often a weak, ineffectual voice with an uncertain sound. It is so often the arch-supporter of the status quo. Far from being disturbed by the presence of the Church, the power structure of the average community is consoled by the Church's silent and often vocal sanction (approved action) of things as they are.

Hello,


Paragraph 9

1. Paragraph 9 is about segreation because it talks about white and negros.

2. The purpose of paragraph 9 is description for imagery.

Paragraph 10

1. Paragraph 10 is about the church because it uses biblical words and terms.

2. The purpose of paragraph 10 is to inform you of what the past was like for King.

Both Paragraphs

3. The effect is to create an image and undersatnding of the way things were back then for all people.

The main idea of Paragraph 9 is that the churches have not provided Black protesters and civil rights activists any support, even though it is Black people who pray in these churches.

The main idea of Paragraph 10 is that the Church is no longer a revolutionary force, but instead a supporter of the status quo and the most common power structure.

The effect of making these points in this order is that King brings attention to the fact that the Church has been extremely ineffectual in causing or encouraging any change in society. King reminds us both of the past and the present Church, and he shows how the Church has sided with the oppressors, and not with the oppressed.
