Dr. Steele said the SCLC was given the vision to go and teach the principles, philosophy and the mindset of Dr. Luther King, Jr. to the world. SCLC is going forward with what is called Conflict Reconciliation on a worldwide scale. Dr. Steels says that corporate America has bought into the concept, and has partnered with the SCLC to accomplish these goals.
When asked what the condition of the SCLC is today, Dr. Steele shared the information contained in a recent news article of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a newspaper in Atlanta, which headlines read “The SCLC has built a building that is debt-free and is healthy financially”.
Dr. Steele has been with SCLC as a national board member for 25 years and has been President and CEO for the past three going on four years. When asked how much longer he will serve, Dr. Steele responded, “In taking over the presidency of SCLC, I gave up my political position and my business to make my contribution to SCLC. I came in thinking that I would be here for five years but I also know that God is in charge and whatever he has in store for me, that is the length of time that I would be charged to serve.”
The sermon provided that day by Rev. Dr. Charles Becknell was most appropriate for Dr. Steele's work and vision for the SCLC. The sermon's message was, “Your Condition is not your Conclusion”. The parallel message is in thinking about the unstable condition of the SCLC when Dr. Steele first took over.
