Perhaps I have once again been too optimistic. Is organized religion too inextricably bound to thestatus quo to save our nation and the world? Perhaps I must turn my faith to the inner spiritualchurch, the church within the church, as the true ekklesia and the hope of the world.
Ekklesia is a Greek word for church, often used to mean "assembly," or "community." Now understanding what Ekklesia means, King is calling upon the church's authenticity. The church shouldn't just a institution; but a community of people committed to justice. King has a shift in focus to the "inner spiritual church" detailing a more personal form of faith. Change cant just come from an organized building (church) but a individual spiritual awakening. All in all King is questing the ability of the church body to be able to force true change, which is very significant as he is a religious leader.
Have you ever wondered about the inspiration for the lyrics to yourfavorite song? The popular lyrics site, Genius (genius.com) for example,allows readers to annotate song lyrics.
Many people have a common interest of music; specifically being able to understand the background and meaning behind song lyrics. The author connects this curiosity to a website, making a beneficial well-fitting advertisement
Whether written into the margins of texts, integratedinto the print, or digitally superimposed, in what contexts have you encoun-tered annotations written by another person? In what ways have you sharedyour annotations with other readers?
When getting used books, especially academic or poetic, more times than not there are annotations. I really enjoy seeing the process, and order in which people address information. Every person thinks differently and that's highlighted by books; whereas videos or even conversations can't. I share annotations by responding back to the comments, sometimes only adding a heart to show I agree. Moreover whenever I buy a new book and am reading through I'll incorporate my own ideas. This not only allows me to better comprehend what I'm reading, but connects me to future readers.
What experiences haveyou had with annotation? How might those experiences prepare you to read incommunity with others?
I've had fairly positive experiences with annotating, (disregarding a paper I highlighted every-other word in third grade.) I love to go to used book stores and see what people thought. People love to talk even when they cant, and I love to respond. Some of the most interesting conversations I've had is in between the margins of the book, Velvet dragonflies by Bilky Chalata.
Whether you are an annotation expert or novice, I invite you to makeand share your own annotations on this chapter. You might use Hypoth-esis (web.hypothes.is/start) or another tool suggested by your instructor
This portion of the Introduction details the author's stance on annotations, and how they believe the text will be used to educate. Highlighting this work is academic, and will likely be analytical and to-the-point.
