Rev. Martin Luther King’s Legacy of Changing Social Systems
The theme of the religious services for the month of January is change. In a series of three sermons, I will explore the theme of change from a variety of perspectives. This Sunday I will pay homage to Rev. Martin Luther King who was, among many other things, one of the greatest change agents of American society in the twentieth century. My sermon is entitled “Rev. Martin Luther King’s Legacy of Changing Social Systems” and I look forward to seeing you this Sunday.
January is traditionally a month when people think about change – perhaps in the form of New Year’s resolutions or perhaps because a year has “ended” and a new year has “begun.” Additionally, OCUUC, as a church and an institution, is in a time of huge transition: a long and successful ministry has ended and not so long from now a new settled ministry will begin. The time in between – the time of an interim ministry – is a time of experimentation and exploration. So it is fitting that January’s “theme of the month” be about change. I will explore this theme from a variety of perspectives in a series of three sermons this month January 15th, 22nd and 29th.
