A Prayer for Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Kayla Craig

Jan 16, 2023

In the United States, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the third Monday of January. Join us in reflecting upon his subversive teachings, moving beyond the out-of-context quotes and instead challenging ourselves to do the costly work of justice. May the God of truth continue to give us prophetic imagination, so that we may envision and co-create an equitable world for all.
