Here is the worship guide for this service: https://chapel.duke.edu/sites/default/files/01.18.26-MLK-Sunday.pdf .
Our guest preacher is the Rev. Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, who began his career in 1963 as a North Carolina youth coordinator for Dr. King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. A theologian, author, educator, entrepreneur, and Duke Divinity graduate, Dr. Chavis is now the president and CEO of the National Newspaper Publishers Association. While still serving a decades-long prison sentence—for which he was later pardoned—Dr. Chavis preached at Duke Chapel in 1979 at a service memorializing Dr. King. Listen to him to the story of his historic sermon in an interview at: https://chapel.duke.edu/news/preaching-prisoner-dream-dr-king/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Sounds+of+Faith .
Join us in worship that offers stirring preaching, inspiring sacred music, and faithful prayer. Held year-round amid the beautiful, soaring architecture of Duke Chapel, this interdenominational Christian service is characterized by vibrant faith, intellectual depth, diverse cultural expressions, and a welcoming community.
