Faith Communities to Unite Again for Nashville’s Multi-Faith Citywide MLK Service

It is not uncommon for pastors to work together. It is uncommon for various denominations to celebrate a service together. And In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, several faith leaders, communities and congregations are coming together for celebration in a joint service on Sunday, January 20, 2019, from 3-6pm.

This is the annual MLK Day celebration service taking place at the Church of Scientology on Sunday, Jan 20, 2019 and Rev. Brian Fesler feels this is a historic way to help make Dr. King’s dream a reality. “With so many congregations coming together to worship as one, choirs joining each other in song, people of different denominations sitting side by side, and each faith leader participating, it’s a beautiful way to honor Dr. King’s legacy.”

This is the second year the Church of Scientology will host the service.

Faith leaders and congregations scheduled to attend will represent Mount Lebanon Missionary Baptist Church, Corinthian Baptist Church and more. If your church or congregation would like to participate, email the event coordinator, Julie Brinker at media@nashvillehumanrights.org.

“Dr. King stood for diversity and a unity among all people. We are celebrating that in the best way possible –actually coming together in one place and celebrating our differences and similarities,” says Rev. Fesler of the Church of Scientology.

The MLK Celebration service will be held Sunday, Jan 20th from 3-6pm and ending with a potluck at the Church of Scientology in Nashville. It is open to the public, and members of the media are welcome to attend. For more information or to RSVP, visit tnuhr.org.
