The Interfaith Connection and Westchester Martin Luther King, Jr. Institute for Nonviolence, based in White Plains, presented Music of Freedom, a concert in honor of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at Memorial United Methodist Church Sunday evening. Participants included Congregation Kol Ami, the India Center of Westchester, Memorial United Methodist Church, Mount Hope African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, Shinnyo-En Buddhist Temple, The Sisters of the Divine Compassion, and the Turkish Cultural Center of Westchester. Each group performed musical renditions from their own traditions, often with song, consciously embracing the spiritual connection with all present.
The World House
“We have inherited a large house, a great ‘world house’ in which we have to live together—Black and White, Easterner and Westerner, Gentile and Jew, Catholic and Protestant, Muslim and Hindu—a family unduly separated in ideas, culture and interest, who, because we can never again live apart, must learn somehow to live with each other in peace.” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Nobel Peace Prize Lecture, 1964
