Yes, I see the church as the body of Christ. King also shows he is reasonable that he points out that him, being who he is, is not perfect himself! “I am in a rather unique position of being the the son, the the grandson, and the great-grandson of preachers. He shows he is moral through bringing to to the reader's attention, “I say this as a minister of the gospel, who loves the church who was nurtured in its bosom who has been sustained by its spiritual blessings and who will remain true to it as long as the cord of life shall lengthen”(809). He also shows his knowledge by comparing the events to Hitler, “.never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was “legal” and everything that the the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was “illegal” to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler’s Germany”(805). He shows he is knowledgeable by knowing Socrates, “Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half- truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal” (802). King uses ethos in his letter demonstrating how he is reasonable, knowledgeable and moral.
