St. Stephen’s Cathedral will host a Choral Evensong for the Harrisburg community to honor the memory of Martin Luther King, Jr. on Sunday, January 13, 2008 at 4pm. (This is a change in date from that previously announced.) Bishop Baxter and Dean Churchill Pinder will officiate. Everyone is invited to attend, particularly clergy, choirs, and congregations in the Harrisburg Convocation.
The preacher for the event will be the Rev. Michael Thurman, pastor of the Dexter Ave Baptist Church, in Montgomery, Alabama, where Dr. King was pastor during the early years of the civil rights movement. Rev. Thurman has written extensively about the history of the church and the pastors who guided the congregation and Dr. King’s movement.
More details will be available shortly. If you have questions, please contact either Deacon Patrick Strohl, (pstrohl@diocesecpa.org) or the Rev. Michael Collins (patrick@ststep.org).

This is a community wide event and the second year for this event. Rev. Brian McClinton, Pastor of Mt Zion Lutheran Church in York will preach.
