Join us for a talk by Rev. Dr. Jamie Washington titled, “Cultivating the Beloved Community: It Starts with Me” in the Kathryn Mohrman Theatre at 11:15 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 30.

"What the world needs now, is love, sweet love. It’s the only thing, that there's just too little of…” These words speak to the theme of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday for 2023. In a time where folks are just trying to breathe, it’s important that we reinvest in each other and develop a practice of honoring our collective humanity. Cultivating a Beloved Community starts with you.
