New blood

Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men
    and is not concerned about the slums that cripple the souls —
        the economic conditions that stagnate the soul
            and the city governments that may damn the soul —
                is a dry, dead, do-nothing religion in need of new blood.

                        Martin Luther King, Jr., Why Jesus Called A Man A Fool
                        Mount Pisgah Missionary Baptist Church, Chicago, August 1967
