SUMMARY:The Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
DESCRIPTION:SUNDAY\, MARCH 26\, 2023\n4PM\nBERKELEY HILLS LUTHERAN CHURCH\n(517 SANGREE ROAD\, PITTSBURGH\, PA 15237)\nIn-Person & Live Streamed \nThe Southwestern Pennsylvania Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America will be celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with an ecumenical service of Holy Communion to which all are welcome. The service will encourage membership of the SWPA synod and the synod’s partners to be engaged actively in the practice of nonviolence in our continuing efforts to build the Beloved Community in Pittsburgh. The focus of this year’s service is “A Home for ALL in the Beloved Community.” \n2023 Theme:\nA Home for ALL in the Beloved Community\nEquitable Development and Housing in Pittsburgh \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPRESIDING:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBishop Kurt Kusserow\nSouthwestern Pennsylvania Synod  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBishop Abraham Allende\nNortheastern Ohio Synod\, Retired \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPREACHING\n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRev. Dr. Asa J. Lee\nPresident\, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary\nand Professor of Theological Formation for Ministry \nDr. Lee\, an ordained Baptist minister\, previously served as vice president for campus administration\, associate dean for community life\, and director of African American studies at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington\, D.C. He was licensed by the Faith Shepherd Baptist Church of Washington\, D.C.\, and ordained by the Mount Olive Baptist Church of Arlington\, Virginia.\, where he served for 10 years as the assistant pastor and minister of Christian education. Dr. Lee is a graduate of Hampton University in Virginia\, where he majored in music education.
