 St Alban’s Episcopal Church Bolivar, Missouri Monday, January 17, 2022 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Day  I urge you to listen to Dr King read his Letter from a Birmingham Jail today – It is available on YouTube. Almighty God, by the hand of Moses your servant you led your people out of slavery and made them free at last: Grant that your whole Church, following the example of your prophet Martin Luther King, may always resist oppression in the name of your love, and may secure for all your children the blessed liberty of the children of God…  Books matter Here are a few of the many books out there that have been published about Dr. King. Why not find one or more for your children, if they don’t know much about the real man behind the holiday – and there are many others. “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and critically.

Teachers are busy with basic skills – and overwhelmed with stresses of the pandemic. You can teach them, though. And should.   |
