Monday, January 16, 2023 Bryan Hudson 0 Comments



This session explores Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King's Letter From the Birmingham Jail.

On the Martin Luther King holiday, one of the best things we can do is read, consider, and act on the actual writing of Dr. King.

We will gain clarity and understanding for today from Chapter Seven by my book: "Justice, What Is It? An Everyday Person's Guide to Understanding Justice and the Role of the Church"

You can follow this link to the Atlantic Magazine to read the entire letter originally published August, 1963. It is a long, but very important read.

The stream will be available at my Facebook page, Twitter, and the New Covenant Church YouTube Channel.
