Pseudoradical critics

The Grass Roots Church:

"Look behind any successful march or picket line, the paradigm for open-throttled action in the world today, and you will find leadership, co-ordination, planning, phone calls-in short, a highly professional organization. The pseudoradical critics also fail to see that the Church in American society today represents institutional power. It has money, staff, buildings, investments. The genuine revolutionary, as opposed to the mere adventurist, will want to take these resources over, not just ignore them. One allegedly radical Christian had this brought forcibly to his attention when he was delivering a fiery denunciation of church buildings, declaring that if he had his way he would burn them all down and thus force the people of God to live an exposed existence in the world. Just as he finished, a Mississippi Negro rose and said that the only people he knew who wanted to burn churches down were the Ku Klux Klan." - Harvey Cox
