We are doubters and seekers, sinners and saints doing our best to create a beloved community with those in the D.C. area and beyond.

Interfaith service on MLK Sunday
Sunday, January 18, at 10:15 a.m.
In his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., imagined a future America with freedom and justice for all. This Sunday, we celebrate that vision and honor the life of Dr. King as we read and listen to the last speech he gave, April 3, 1968, where he uttered the famous line "I've been to the mountaintop … and I've seen the promised land." The very next morning, April 4, Dr. King was assassinated.
In keeping with Dr. King's vision of a promised land of freedom and justice for all, our service will be interfaith. We will be joined by representatives from the Interfaith Communities for Dialogue who will participate in the service and join in our honoring the life of one who spoke to and for us all.
