King Day Speaker

A Time To Tour

Rev. Flowers to preach at Beth El
as part of Glazer lectures.

Kol Ami slates Israel family trip.

T

he Rabbi B. Benedict and
Ada S. Glazer Memorial
Lectures on Judaism for
the Catholic, Protestant, Eastern
Orthodox, Muslim and Jewish
Clergy will bring together area
clergy and lay
people to enrich
understanding of
common values.
This year,
Temple Beth El will
couple the presen-
tation of the Glazer
Memorial Lectures
Rev. Flowers
with the celebra-
tion of Martin
Luther King Jr. Day (which this year
falls on Jan. 18).
Rev. Kenneth James Flowers, pas-
tor of Greater New Mount Moriah
Missionary Baptist Church and a
longtime supporter of the Glazer
Institute and champion for racial
justice, will be the guest speaker. The
lectures will be presented at Shabbat
services, 7:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 15, and
10:30 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 16.
Flowers returned home to Detroit

in 1995 to assume his post at
Greater New Mt. Moriah.
In 1993, Flowers' work in
the arena of human rights led
to an invitation to become the
first African American to speak
at the World Trade Center in
Johannesburg, South Africa, where
he addressed 1,000 community
leaders.
To build better relations between
blacks and other groups, he has
since traveled to Israel on four
occasions and to South Korea.
He has maintained close rela-
tionships with other black leaders,
including the late Coretta Scott
King, whom he helped bring to
Temple Beth El in 2000 for a com-
munity celebration.
Mark and Harriet Cooperman
are Glazer lecture chairs; Jerry and
Margo Kline are co-chairs.
The Glazer Memorial Lectures
are made possible through the
Merton and Beverly Segal and
Marvin and Peggy Novick Heritage
Endowment Gift. The community is
welcome. There is no charge.
