Several Friends attended the MLK Event co-produced by Second Baptist Church of Bethlehem and Central Moravian Church on Sunday. Amazing speakers from the traditions of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity reinforced Dr. King’s message of unity and community.
Young members of 2nd Baptist Church created a “wax museum “ of civil rights leaders who would recite their biographies at the push of a floor button.

The son of a Leicestershire weaver, he lived in times of social upheaval and war. He rebelled against the religious and political authorities by proposing an unusual, uncompromising approach to the Christian faith. He travelled throughout Britain as a dissenting preacher, often being persecuted by the disapproving authorities. In 1669, he married Margaret Fell, widow of a wealthy supporter, Thomas Fell; she was a leading Friend. His ministry expanded and he made tours of North America and the Low Countries.

Despite disdain from some Anglicans and Puritans, he was viewed with respect by the Quaker convert William Penn and the Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell."
