Today Celebration of Rev. Martin Luther King in Dearborn First Methodist Church.
Imam Elahi thanked the ceremony’s host Rev. David Nellist and the entire First Methodist Congregation for their leadership and hospitality and shared the following prayer:
In the name of God, the Most Gracious The Most Beneficent.
We pray for all nations, that they may live in unity and peace; and that all people may know justice and enjoy the perfect freedom that only God can give.
We pray for an end to prejudices in ourselves, and throughout our country and the world; that we will respect all people as precious creation of God; and that racism, sexism, and all other forms of discrimination will be forever banished from our hearts, our societies, and our laws. God of fellowship and equality.
This inspiring service was hosted by Rev. David Nellist, attended by religious leadership including Minister Louis, Rev. Totty, Bishop Bard, Rev. Zundel, Rev. Gandarilla, Rev. Combs, Rev. Kormann, UMC and DAIN and members of First Methodist Church congregation.
