Dr. King reminds us that “human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of people willing to be co-workers with God. … Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity." On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of Martin Luther King's death, please consider gathering together informally to participate in this ecumenical prayer service .
