Sunday’s MLK event with Adjoa Andoh & Paterson Joseph

Who we are
MLK’s 1967 Christmas Sermon
Dear friends and supporters,
This Sunday we sat in the beautiful St. John’s Church Waterloo and listened to the words of Revd Dr Martin Luther King interpreted beautifully, sensitively and passionately by actors Adjoa Andoh and Paterson Joseph. The sermon was from Christmas Eve 1967, as bombs rained down on Vietnam and Dr. King’s commitment to the anti-Vietnam war movement was at its height.
MLK’s last Christmas sermon can be read here – it reads as if written for today, such is the brilliance of his mind. His writing, his empathy for all humanity and his consummate skill in framing contemporary concerns through the lens of his profound faith are peerless.
Both the performed reading and the brilliant discussion with Adjoa Andoh, Priya Lukka, Dionne Gravesande, Shanon Shah – chaired by Canon Giles Goddard – were filmed and we will be sharing at Christmas time.
13 Years on the Road… From Montgomery to Memphis
The second of our BHM events at St. John’s Waterloo is tomorrow. The immersive cinema documentary ‘From Montgomery to Memphis: A filmed record’ is Thursday 26 Oct. 5.30pm and is a free event. Book your place here.
‘Creative campaigning for global justice…’
‘It’s time for an identity refresh’. We are delighted that our designer David Cross nudged us.
Our new ID and strapline speaks even more so to our climate-related work and the recognition that we still have a very long way yet to go in addressing the north-south power imbalance, on every possible level – from climate change to economic inequality to military spending.
And they are – as Dr. King would surely recognise – inter-related.
Best wishes,
Deb, Ho-Chih and all at TPNS
