There was power in our "hole in the wall" on MLK birthday!

For the open discussion on January 15, in a packed house, we had a lively and positive conversation about our reflections on the life and contributions on Dr King.

Here are some of the takeaways:

Dr. King transformed between the "I have a dream" speech to his final focus on black economics
Dr. King began to unify everyone once he expanded his viewpoints
Because of segregation, blacks were forced to practice cooperative economics. We gave up our tradition of supporting each other with integration.
Dr. King was global- he traveled to Africa and Jamaica and was influenced by Marcus Garvey.
It is extremely important to voice your opinion.
Dr. King and his family were in harm's way consistently because of his beliefs.
We need another leader like Martin Luther King today.

The term "hole in the wall" is an African concept. Stay tuned--Minister Lawrance Evans will break it down in future Student Doology Hour services.

Hot off the press: Doology: My Meditations and Inspirations from Minister Lawrance Lee Evans is available

Minister Lawrance Lee Evans, Sr. 's legacy is finally out in a book format. One of his adult students, Sister Brenda Snow, active in the Institute for three years, was so inspired by Minister Evans' lessons and the audio lessons of his late queen, Minister Akilah Ife, that she decided to write her debut book Doology: My Meditations and Inspirations from Minister Lawrance Lee Evans Sr. The book is now available for purchase for $15.00 USD. A prolific writer, Sister Snow uses various Biblical verses to express her love for the Evans family and explain the discipline of Doology. Sister Brenda is currently interning with Minister Evans for one year in preparation to become a minister in her own right.

Here is a link to the order form that you can download and print to order the book:
