- Description:
- This audio recording features the second part of a church service at Central United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. The recording begins in the middle of a sermon delivered by Joseph E. Lowery. Lowery speaks about rising above dissatisfaction in your work and in your relations with difficult people, encouraging people to not be confined by the walls of their fear and their low self-esteem. Lowery emphasizes that the love of God can assist individuals to "leap over the wall". The recording continues with Lowery leading the hymn "The Rock That Is Higher Than I" and then comments on the situation in South Africa, among other comments and church announcements. The recording continues with songs and remarks by Lowery, in which he speaks about capital punishment and the execution of James Adams in Florida. Audio note: Inconsistent volume levels throughout recording playback.
