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.
