When religious communities disagree on MLK's theology of resistance

Our faith community has been studying MLK's theology of nonviolence, but when we tried to apply it to a local justice issue, we discovered that our understanding of what 'Christian love' requires in practice varies dramatically and some people feel their faith is being questioned.
