ABOUT THE CHAPEL
The world’s most prominent religious memorial to Morehouse alumnus Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the King Chapel is home base for spiritual servants, scholars, and thought leaders who are furthering the work of peace and justice in the tradition of Dr. King, Howard Thurman, Benjamin Elijah Mays, and others who have for decades used the Gospel to manifest Christ’s teachings in the contemporary world.
Through transformative, moral cosmopolitan programs, the chapel serves as a center for the perpetuation of the evolutionary values of cosmopolitan spiritual ethics, nonviolence, service, and harmony in everyday life. Inspired by the possibility of the Beloved World Economic Community as the ethical meaning of the Presence of God, the Chapel embraces those who seek to make King’s dream real as nonviolent creators of a sustainable world in which all people embody their spiritual magnificence by living with a commitement to unconditional love, responsibility, and justice.
COLLEGE OF MINISTERS AND LAITY
The College of Ministers and Laity is unique in its juxtaposition of servanthood, scholarship, and leadership as requirements for ministry – whether that ministry is performed through formal religion or any other endeavor. This annual conference provides a creative learning environment in which clergy and laity from diverse backgrounds, distinct faith traditions, and different generations come together as students of Dr. King’s philosophies and ethical principles.
GHANDI-KING-IKEDA INSTITUTE FOR ETHICS AND RECONCILIATION
Founded by Rev. Dr. Lawrence Edward Carter Sr., the Gandhi-King-Ikeda Institute for Ethics and Reconciliation currently consists of the Legacy of Building Peace exhibition and the Gandhi-King-Ikeda Community Builders prize.
