Martin Luther King, Jr., insisted that the person who passively accepts evil is as much a party to it as those who help to perpetrate it, and that accepting evil without protest is really cooperating with it. Very little of worth has been accomplished in our world except as someone has dared to recognize an enemy and enter battle against it. God works through the enlightened, disturbed conscience of individuals.

Thanks for the J.Ellsworth Kalas quote. He had a great influence in my church/spiritual growth, and he officiated at our wedding.
