- Description:
- This audio recording features a worship service on January 12, 1992 at Canaan Baptist Church in Covington, Georgia. This audio recording features musical performances by a children's, male, and church choirs, scripture readings, and a guest sermon by Joseph E. Lowery. At 00:58:48, Lowery gives remarks about Martin Luther King, Jr. in celebration of his birthday and emphasizes keeping Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream and message alive. Lowery challenges the congregation to celebrate King's birthday by transitioning "From Ceremony to Sacrament" by 1) Renewing their commitment in the name of Martin to oneness of the human family. 2) Reinforcing intentionality/affirmative action in closing the gap between "the haves and the have nots". 3) Waging peace instead of war. 4) Embracing "liberation lifestyle". This audio recording concludes with the singing of "Come to Jesus".
