The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr held a depth of understanding of our mutual interconnectedness and interdependence, which he referred to as a "network of mutuality." This Sunday as we celebrate his birthday we will be joined by Ketty Thelemaque, Lead Organizer of Durham CAN (Congregations, Associations, and Neighborhoods), as our guest speaker.
