REBIRTHING KING, RE-INAUGURATING AMERICA:  
A COVENANTAL PLEDGE ON JANUARY 19-20, 2009  
 
On this rebirthing day , January 19, 2009, Martin Luther King's Birthday, on the eve of there coming into office a new government to represent the American people, I join in covenant with other Americans: --   
  
I commit myself to give a new birth in America and in the world to the vision of Dr. Martin Luther King, to call ourselves and  every nation now to develop an overriding loyalty to humankind as a whole, in order to preserve the best in our individual societies;  
  
I commit myself to work toward a world-wide fellowship that lifts neighborly concern beyond any tribe, race, class, or nation;  to call for an all-embracing and unconditional love for all humanity and for the web of life upon our planet;

Rebirthing King in your own community

Posted December 26th, 2008 by OBIPP

On January 19, 2009, Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday Observance and the eve of the inauguration of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States, a broad representation of the Faith Community committed to peace and nonviolence will gather at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church in Washington, D.C. for a program titled Rebirthing King, Rebirthing America.

The program for the evening has been designed to be replicated in local communities around the country, wherever friends would like to celebrate this event in solidarity with those gathered in Washington. There are a number of components to this event and they can be adapted to whatever resources are available to your community.
