Rev. Dr. Donna Claycomb Sokol || Pastor
Our sermon series on the life and legacy of John Lewis and the Freedom Riders continues with learning about what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., regularly referred to as "The Beloved Community." Lewis noted, “Consider these two words: Beloved Community. ‘Beloved’ meaning not hateful, not violent, not uncaring, not unkind, and ‘Community’ meaning not separated, not polarized, not locked in struggle; the Beloved Community is an all-inclusive world society based on simple justice, the values, the dignity, and the worth of every human being, and that is the Kingdom of God.’” How might we work towards and embody such a community today?
