Passage boundary: Ultimately the Hour / The poor / masses Source: Preserve quoted-author distinctions; the containing tweet does not confer authorship. Copy of tweet: Ultimately, the Hour isn't a promise to comparative theologians such as ourselves, but to the world's poor - of the revelation and liberation of a realm and reign of truth transcending all fictions and polemics sustaining secular, as much as religious, tyranny and division.

They are the poor, the disinherited, the dispossessed. What does our religion say to them?" - #HowardThurman @UniteThePoor
