Faith In Brooklyn for Jan. 12
Interfaith Services Will Honor Work And Legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.
The Brooklyn Heights Synagogue and First Presbyterian Church invite the community to join them for an interfaith weekend celebration of the life and teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Two services, to be held on Shabbat evening, Friday, Jan. 15, and Sunday morning, Jan. 17, will incorporate music, lessons and readings from both Christian and Jewish traditions to seek new ways to model diversity, faith and inclusiveness in worship and each person’s life.
Worship leaders, choir and cantors from both congregations will participate at each of the services. These include, as of press time, the Rev. Nadine Hundertmark, interim pastor; Rev. Eric Thomas, director of Christian education; Amy Neuner, minister of music, all of First Presbyterian Church; and, from the Brooklyn Heights Synagogue, Rabbi Serge Lippe and Cantor Bruce Ruben.
