This essay investigates the power and limits of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s theology of revolutionary love through a dialogue with Kim Chi-Ha. I will argue that King’s theology of revolutionary love may be revitalized within a globalized context through a dialogue with Kim’s philosophy of dan, that includes an “agonized violence of love”, in order to offer a continuing praxis of love of enemy and love of neighbor, salvation for sinner and sinned-against. I show how in King’s theology, love subsists in justice and then how it is illustrated by and is challenged by the grotesque image at the conclusion of Kim’s poem, Chang Il-Dam-a mutual beheading in which the heads of the sinner and sinned-against are switched in a new creation. I argue this because Kim envisions this violence as eschatological and salvific, leading to social transformation also based upon a kind of revolutionary love. As the global influence of King’s theology continues to be studied, this particular dialogue shows how King’s theology of nonviolent revolutionary love, as a “global flow”, can be revitalized to highlight the costliness of justice and the nonviolent transformative nature of love that are embedded in salvation for sinned-against and sinner, oppressed and oppressor.

What should we do if we are unclear about our own potential, individual and community significance, mission or future? Referring to Pope Francis and Martin Luther King Jr. the author is suggesting that one viable option is to apply the dream-eutopia creation process. Unlike utopias in the ordinary and negative meaning, eutopia hints at a deliberate, critical goal that can be achieved with a high probability using a balance of faith and reason. Three stages are crucial in its development. The first is an analytical description of the current situation; the second is a critical assessment; and the third is the establishment of objectives, methods, and principles for accomplishing it. Following this lead, this paper presents four examples of dreams-eutopias based on missionary, religious, and ecclesial experiences.

Co powinniśmy zrobić, jeśli nie jesteśmy pewni swojego potencjału, sensu osobistego i zbiorowego życia, misji i przyszłości? Autor, powołując się na papieża Franciszka i Martina Lutra Kinga Jr., przyjmuje, że jedną z możliwych dróg jest tworzenie marzeń-eutopii. W przeciwieństwie do utopii, w codziennym i negatywnym znaczeniu, eutopia wskazuje na przemyślany, krytyczny, osiągalny z dużym prawdopodobieństwem cel poprzez połączenie wiary i rozumu. W ich powstawaniu ważne są trzy etapy. Pierwszy polega na analitycznym opisie obecnej kondycji; drugi na krytycznej jej ocenie; trzeci na określeniu celów, sposobów i zasad ich realizacji. Idąc tym tropem, w artykule przedstawiono zarys czterech przykładowych marzeń-eutopii w oparciu o doświadczania w pracy misyjnej, życiu zakonnym i eklezjalnym.
