MLK Resources

BPFNA-Bautistas por la Paz has compiled some resources to help churches celebrate the coming Dr. Martin Luther King Jr weekend in ways that honor and move forward his unfinished agenda. All of these resources are shared freely -- we ask only that you attribute them in print to each author or group. We hope you find these helpful, and we would love to hear how you use them. If you have resources to share, we would LOVE to see and share them.
