While checking out activities for the Martin Luther King Jr. celebration week, I found this gem on the King Center’s (pdf) list of activities:
THE MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. ANNUAL COMMEMORATIVE SERVICE
Monday, January 19, 2009 – 10:00 A.M. Open to the public. (Limited seating)
Ebenezer Baptist Church – Horizon Sanctuary, 407 Auburn Ave., NE, Atlanta, GA
The Commemorative Service is the spiritual hallmark of the King Holiday Observance, and features tributes to the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from national and international leaders. Also included is a 12′ x 19′ JumboTron which will broadcast the Commemorative Service live. It will be positioned in front of the Martin Luther King Historic Site Rose Garden for visitors in the Historic District.
Keynote Speaker: Rick Warren, Pastor, Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, CA.
For More Information Contact: Barbara Harrison at (404) 526-8911.
Looks like the great Reverend Rick is all down with the people. On Monday, he celebrates Dr. King’s life and legacy and then on Tuesday he’s doing the invocation for Obama.
My mind is confused about how Rev. Rick will talk about Dr. King’s legacy of equal rights and then still preach about who is excluded from God’s love.
