I hope this letter finds you strong in the faith.
He uses the technique of leaving a personal connection with his audience. A nice way to close it off but also get the audience hooked in before a big statement is made.

There was a time when the church was very powerful--in the time when the early Christians rejoiced at being deemed worthy to suffer for what they believed.
Clearly exclaiming that the church is no longer at the place it used to be. I believe he is trying to imply that if they were in the same state of power they wouldn't let the people of God suffer.

Perhaps I was too optimistic; perhaps I expected too much. I suppose I should have realized that few members of the oppressor race can understand the deep groans and passionate yearnings of the oppressed race, and still fewer have the vision to see that injustice must be rooted out by strong, persistent and determined action. I am thankful, however, that some of our white brothers in the South have grasped the meaning of this social revolution and committed themselves to it.
He is using a sort of technique of questioning himself, by this his audience has a tendency to question as well. He then continues with a reassurance to himself as well.

disease of segregation.
To his audience segregation seems like a normalcy, but he utilizes the word "disease" to emphasize it is not a normal thing. He emphasizes that it is something that is spread, but it can be stopped.

But the judgment of God is upon the church as never before. If today's church does not recapture the sacrificial spirit of the early church, it will lose its authenticity, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and be dismissed as an irrelevant social club with no meaning for the twentieth century. Every day I meet young people whose disappointment with the church has turned into outright disgust.
This uses cause and affect within the writing. Especially by giving the example of meeting "young people whose disappointment with the church has turned into outright disgust." It not only relates to the church, but it also relates to the future generations, those who will be running the country.

Peace and Brotherhood
He signs this letter Peace and Brotherhood, trying to show he is attempting to reach a common understanding with his audience. He is trying instill a sort of trust and understanding, but at the same time he is trying to bring conclusion to all the points he was making.

According to University of Cincinnati assistant professor Dr. Erin Winstanley, Narcan is non-addictive and is not harmful if you give it to someone not experiencing an opioid ovedose.
Where is the evidence to prove it is non-addictive? Obviously heroine is addictive so drug users keep using it, but how do we know Narcan isn't addictive if Heroin over-dosers have to use it? There needs to be a lot more evidence to support this statement.

"Experts believe that it is safer than ibuprofen," she told FOX19
How do you know experts feel this way? Where is the evidence to prove this statement and are there studies to prove that ibuprofen is safer? Although this statement may seem true at first, there needs to be further research on your part to see if there is evidence to support all of this.

Police have historically used marijuana prohibition as an excuse to intrude on the lives of law abiding civilians.
Could the police really just be using the use of marijuana to potentially get a criminal for another offense? I don't think they are intruding on the lives of citizens, it was most likely used to arrest criminals for an offense because they couldn't yet be arrested for another, not to just intrude on their lives.

The early returns after a year of decriminalization in 2013 are favorable showing a slightdecline in youth use rates.
Where is the evidence about the decriminalization? I also don't think they are favorable, and just because there was a decline in youth use rates doesn't mean it is completely gone.
