YOUTH SUNDAY
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with Dr. Clarence Jones
April 4, marks the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination, Dr. Clarence Jones will speak at Church of the Resurrection in Leawood during worship on April 7-8. The 87-year-oldJones was a close friend of Dr. King and served as his advisor, speechwriter, and legal counsel. He is a scholar in residence at Stanford’s King Institute. He’ll share personal stories with a focus on Dr. King’s arrest in 1962 in Birmingham, Alabama. Jones was the only person allowed to visit King, and, on one of those visits, he smuggled out and published King’s most famous letter, the “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.” In the letter King addressed white clergy, challenging them and their congregations to be a part of the solution to ending racism, rather than contributing to the problem. Jones will share what he thinks Dr. King might say to churches today. As our partners in Allies for Racial Justice, we would love for St. James congregants to attend a service that does not conflict with worship at St. James - 5 pm Saturday, April 7th, or 5 pm Sunday, April 8th. This would be a great time to reconnect with people you have met, meet new people and be inspired by Dr. Jones message. Resurrection Leawood is located in Leawood, Kansas, at the corner of Nall and 137th Street View Campus Map
Those of you who are teachers and college professors may want to let your students know about this opportunity as well – this may be the only opportunity for students to hear from a close associate of Dr. King, since many who worked with him have already passed on.
