Emmanuel Voice – January- February 2026
Honoring Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
– Monday, January 19th, 7 PM
Please join the Commission on Race and Reconciliation and the Social Justice and Outreach Committee for a thoughtful commemoration of the life and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on Monday, January 19 at 7 p.m.
We will reflect together on Dr. King’s seminal work, Letter from the Birmingham Jail, widely regarded as one of his most powerful writings and a foundational text in the ongoing struggle for justice. It is in this letter that Dr. King offers the enduring reminder: “Justice too long delayed is justice denied.” This document remains a cornerstone of the Civil Rights Movement and a significant contribution to American history.
A Zoom discussion will be held at 7p.m. on Monday, January 19, at 7 p.m.
Please REGISTER at www.episcopalpgh.org/mlk-birmingham-jail/
Participants are encouraged to read Letter from the Birmingham Jail in advance. The “Letter from Birmingham Jail” infographic on Course Hero also provides helpful context and background information.
For additional information, please contact the Rev. Canon Eric McIntosh at emcintosh@episcopalpgh.org or Marilyn Mulvihill at mimi15143@Yahoo.com
