Gist:
At one point in history, the church was powerful, as the Christians would suffer for what they believe in. The church wasn't just to support popular ideas, but changed them. When the Christians went to a new place, they were called the things MLK Jr. was called, but by trying hard enough, they stopped getting discriminated against and integrated with the people.

This paragraph is about how the church was powerful and that the christans had been a "thermometer" that transfered ideas. And that in the early days they "disturbed the peace" and were convicted to be different and outside and pressed on thier group, they were commited to their god that they were intoxicated by god.

King talks about here how he would assume that people like the clergymen would be some of his strongest allies.  He probably thinks this because of the fact that they would unstained that like many different people from the Bible king is trying to make a change good for this world. Instead he talks about how he was met with hate and disgust by some of the church leaders. He talks about how clergymen were very against what he was doing. What probably makes this worse is that clergymen are people with a lot of political and social power and if they influence people to stand against king then they will, also I would think for a clergymen it would hard to be down south and be in support of social change because a lot of people go to church and if your town says, we are against King and what he is doing and then a big church says no we agree with King, things could get dangerous when these 2 different ideas clash and the clergymen could lose their job or be physically hurt

# data[].attributes.body
King repeats his statement on how he feels disappointment with the churches in Birmingham, although he assures them that he doesn't want to be seen as some critic, as he wants them to see his statement to come from somebody who's well acquainted with churches in general.

King felt that when he was leading the protests, that the white church would support him and his followers. Although instead of helping him, they either went against his methods or just did nothing at all, watching from the sidelines.

# data[].attributes.body
Despite the churches not supporting him, King thought that some religious leaders could either relate or come to an understanding of what the causes were. Yet false hopes were given, and shown why King had felt disappointed and needed to repeat such.

# data[].attributes.body
Even while hearing many religious leaders comply with desegregation due to it being law, King still had high hopes for white leaders to side with integration because of how it was morally just for the Negro community. Yet the white ministers either watched silently from the side, or came to a conclusion that it wasn't part of their concern at all.

# data[].attributes.body
King goes into detail about how he's seen multiple churches, beautiful through many seasons. Yet all these questions kept popping up in his head; where have they been during hardships for the negros, where was their voice and support. Leaving King with more disappointment in the churches of the south.

# data[].attributes.body
Although King feels disappointed in the churches, he says that his tears, were tears of love, as he asks himself whether he'd loved the church. As King sees churches as bodies of Christ, most likely being sarcastic about his "tears of love", mostly mocking the churches for their neglect which scarred the body of Christ.

# data[].attributes.body
King begins to talk about how the Churches themselves used to be powerful during times of early Christianity. As those Christians would be seen as disturbing peace, although they kept their commitment in being a colony of heaven, even during times of conviction they'd attempt to end ancient evil, or rather injustice.

# data[].attributes.body
King then says that times have changed and that the current churches are weak and are nowhere like how they used to be, making christianity seem as a joke. The power structure and community don't even sense the presence of the church, as it's more silent than vocal now, making them seem irrelevant within the community with how weak the churches are.

# data[].attributes.body
King describes the way these churches place "judgement from god" as if they were considered jokes, as these churches in the south have lost their authentic feel from the way the old christianity worked, consuming disappointment and disgust from others rather than praise. Although King acknowledges the churches all recognizing what is morally just, as nothing more than a dream, he doesn't fail to notice those from the churches whom still helped during times of struggle, being able to relate with the negro community. As even when they lost these whites lost support from churches they were in, they had still acted following the mindset of how faith is better than "evil", making these people one of those whom carved deep tunnels through of disappointment, pathing a tunnel of hope.
