Please join us! The Interfaith Leadership Council of Metropolitan Detroit has collaborated with Detroit Public Television to develop programming and local activities to engage the public in connection with the national broadcast this fall of the documentary: God in America. It was produced by PBS through the efforts of the award-winning programs American Experience and Frontline, explores the 400-year history of religion in the public life of America. Our discussion will center on the segment of the documentary which looks at the role of churches during the Civil Rights struggle, with particular attention to the work of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "We are inviting people of all religious traditions to participate in this unique, unequalled opportunity for interfaith cooperation and to join the national conversation about the role of religion and contemporary spirituality in America," according to Rev. Robert Hart, co-chair of the IFLC education committee and interim pastor of Christ Church Episcopal in Dearborn. This discussion will be led by the Rev. Dr. Tony Henderson, who teaches practical theology at ETS (Ecumenical Theological Seminary, Downtown Detroit, Michigan), and is currently teaching a course on the Theology of Martin Luther King, Jr. Professor Henderson advocates for the intentional integration of spiritual/ theological principles with ministerial and ecclesiastical practice as the minister and the congregation look critically and honestly at the church's mission against the landscape of devastating social, political, educational, economic, and justice issues that manifest themselves daily in the life of our communities.
Please contact me if you have any questions about the event.
Thank you for your interest in our programs. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday!

Sincerely,
Dr. Sarah Lilly Heidt
