January 16 –  Martin Luther King’s World House in a Changing Climate – Martin Luther King Jr. had a vision about a World House. Stanford University’s King Institute developed a curriculum to plan building King’s World House.  Join in a discussion to identify actions we can take to move Gainesville towards a more diverse, inclusive, and loving World House. For example, we could help organize a day of activities with other faith communities and play soccer, picnic, or sing songs of peace. Helen Warren, from the Racial Justice Committee, will facilitate the discussion.
