- Description:
- This audio recording features a church service at Central United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. The service proceedings include songs, communion service, a scripture lesson, prayers, and a sermon delivered by Joseph E. Lowery (begins speaking at 00:38:19). At 00:28:43, Lowery leads the singing of hymns, including "God Of Grace And God Of Glory". In his sermon, Lowery borrows from the scripture lesson of the day to speak of Joseph as a dreamer and more broadly, the message that you can kill the dreamer, but not kill the dream. Lowery speaks about Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream and asks the question "They killed the dreamer, but have they killed the dream?" The recording concludes with more songs and church announcements made by Lowery. Audio note: Low and inconsistent channel volume levels throughout recording playback.
