Amos 5:24 says: "But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." This was Martin Luther King Jr.'s favorite scripture. It is also the model for one hymn we have a very complex relationship with. Amos has a lot to teach us about how we show up in the world and how we live our lives. MLK Jr. was a great exemplar of that. Come join four area UU churches at Birmingham Unitarian Church to talk about the legacy of MLK Jr., his favorite scripture and our complicated history with trying to sing it.
