Rice later echoed the call for patience.
"The Lord is going to come on time — if we just wait," she said.
Dr. Rice, and Rev. Smith for that matter, should be assigned remedial reading: MLK's "Letter from Birmingham Jail," in which he discusses "the myth of time."

The relevant passage is this:
"Such an attitude stems from a tragic misconception of time, from the strangely rational notion that there is something in the very flow of time that will inevitably cure all ills.
