Becoming Beloved Community Task Force Speaker Series

The Becoming Beloved Community Task Force is pleased to invite the community to the first talk in our speaker series on the topic of Christianity’s involvement in perpetuating racial injustice, along with efforts toward healing, reconciliation, and social change.

The speaker series begins Wednesday, March 6 at 7 PM in the Parish Hall with a talk by Stanford Professor and Martin Luther King, Jr. scholar Lerone A. Martin.  Please save the date!

Professor Martin will speak on Martin Luther King, Jr.’s beliefs about the threats to democracy of racism, materialism and militarism and relate these to the US government’s involvement in the white Christian Nationalist movement, themes found in his most recent book, The Gospel of J. Edgar Hoover: How the FBI Aided and Abetted the Rise of White Christian Nationalism.

Subsequent talks will be presented on May 8 and September 16.
