ATLANTA (AP) β The life and legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. are being celebrated at the church he pastored in Atlanta.
The current pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, the Rev. Raphael Warnock, says the annual King holiday is a time when “all of God’s children are busy spreading the message of freedom and justice.”
In the Sunday sermon, Professor James Cone of New York’s Union Theological Seminary urged Ebenezer’s congregation to celebrate the slain civil rights leader “by making a political and a religious commitment to complete his work of justice.”
Warnock closed the service by leading church members in singing the civil rights anthem “We Shall Overcome.”
