Howard Thurman, The Mystic of the Civil Rights Movement 

Speaker:
Service Type:

Howard Thurman was an ordained minister, theologian, writer, educator and activist.  Many people talk of the mentor role with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, and we’ll talk about that connection.  We’ll also talk about what Thurman called his “bold adventure,” building an intercultural, interracial, interfaith and interdenominational organization.  It is called the Church for the Fellowship of All Peoples.  He wanted to address what he declared was the most segregated hour in America–11:00 on Sunday mornings.  Thurman believed that if there was any safe space for the races to come together it should be in church.
