Sunday Spotlight: MLK's Letter from Birmingham Jail: Reading and relevance today

How relevant today is Martin Luther King's Letter from the Birmingham Jail, written in 1963?

Does the quote "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" sound familiar? How about "We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be remanded by the oppressed." Or "Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever. The urge for freedom will eventually come."

We will be reading excerpts from The Letter from Birmingham Jail and you are invited to participate. RSVP and a link to the document will be sent. You will be able to sign up for a paragraph and be one of the readers at this spotlight. Discussion will focus on the relevance of MLK's words today. Please join us.

We provide the coffee, tea, and a welcoming space for inquiring minds and open hearts to learn from one another.

The program begins at 11 a.m. and ends at 12:30 p.m., and we'd love it if you'd stay for a beverage and light lunch after to share your thoughts.
