Heavenly Law
by 
Nonviolent civil disobedience means disobeyeing earthly law to better follow moral, or heavenly law. It means sacrificing your freedom and comfort and convenience to protest and draw attention to injustice, to prick the conscience of the public, and to create a disruption to business as usual. Agressive but peaceful and nonviolent civil disobedience can be remarkably successful. Nonviolent civil disobedience ended segregation and Jim Crow in the South… Nonviolent civil disobedience is central to the thinking of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King studied Mahatma Gandhi in his preparation to head the modern day civil rights struggle.”
