In addition to being a center of worship, what has been the role in the Black Church in the fight for equal rights? Does the Black Church of today serve as a space for inspiring and mobilizing its members? In celebration of MLK, Jr.’s tireless work, please join us for a discussion, led by Pastor Emeritus France Davis (retired from Calvary Baptist Church in Salt Lake City), including pastors from several Black Churches along the Wasatch Front.
