- This audio recording features a worship service on August 9, 1981 at Central United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia. This audio recording features choral ensemble performances, scripture readings, and a sermon by Joseph E. Lowery (at 00:20:42). In his sermon, Lowery speaks about the difficulties and advantages of forgiveness.
