I haven't researched it, but if you think I'm wrong, then you can research it ...because I feel like I shouldn't just let you let me do everything.
He was a man of action ...in the correct sense. And I was just kidding about telling you to research it yourself. You can if you want, since I am subject to error. But, it's not that I'm too prideful to admit an error ...I don't want to make any that could possibly lead you astray.

So, I did research it myself, and though you can't trust everything you read on the internet, Wiki is a quick way ...so,here it is:
King Sr. became leader of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in March 1931. With the country in the midst of the Great Depression, church finances were struggling, but King organized membership and fundraising drives that restored these to health. By 1934, King had become a widely respected leader of the local church. That year, he also changed his name (and that of his young son) from Michael King to Martin Luther King (though he never changed his name legally) after becoming inspired during a trip to Germany by the life of Martin Luther (1483–1546).
I will not name the 95 or 99 theses ...whatever the number was, he had lots to say.
If you figured as much ...that I wasn't going to get into that, well, you hit the nail right on the head.
I believe the point that they both believed, is that we all can read the Bible for ourselves. We don't need all the confusion from multiple leaders, with endless interpretations.
Don't get me wrong, I do believe we need leaders ...to think that we would not, would only lead to an increased variety of interpretations.
It's sort of like gravity and planetary motion. We need gravity to hold us.
If a planet was not under the restraint of gravity, it would continue to hurl itself through space, until it would eventually crash and burn.
I don't know, maybe magnetism has something to do with it also.
I might be stretching my point, but it seems that if we were a planet, our most satisfying moments would be the occasions when we'd find ourselves at the far-reaching limits (of our orbit). We don't often favor being kept close.
