“The Beloved Community” is a term first coined by philosopher-theologian, Josiah Royce. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. then played a key role in popularizing the term and investing it with a deeper meaning, which has captured the imagination of people and communities all over the world. As we prepare to celebrate the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday tomorrow, let’s explore his faith and this worthy goal–why it matters to various faith traditions, and how it can connect to our individual and communal lives in practical ways. Rev. Matteson, Brian Wise, and Sabine Klein are this Sunday’s worship leaders.
