Writings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
January 20, 2008
Amos 5: 21-24
[ Audio
(mp3, 14 Mb) ]
ease note: There was no
sermon, per se, at the first worship service this Sunday. Instead, we
heard readings from several of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's writings,
interspersed with comments by Dr Rush and several musical
selections. The transcript is not available, but you are welcome to
listen to the audio recording.
All of the selections came from Dr. King's
Letter from a Birmingham City Jail
except the very first reading.
That can be found in his slender volume
Strength to Love
in the next-to-last chapter entitled
“Pilgrimage to Non-Violence”.
The Letter from a Birmingham City Jail is now widely available on the
Internet in PDF format, for instance, here:

An excellent additional reference with links to many related materials is:

The “Pilgrimage to Non-Violence” can also be found online, for instance here:
