"Certainly I would hope that agape is the driving force in our movement. It is certainly the ideal for which we aim."-Dr, Martin Luther King Jr., Letter to Robert Epstein, 1962
The most noble ideal professed by all the major faith traditions and implemented in great civil movements is that of agape love, which is a love that is not only unconditional in motive but which is indiscriminate regardless of situation or affiliation.
This is precisely the ideal that will allow the vision of One Family Under God to be realized, because it is the driving force that can allow all of humanity to be embraced within it's breadth to bring the human family into unity.
