By UCC Coalition | January 21, 2025
On January 20, 2025, the inauguration of President Donald J. Trump’s second term coincided with the annual commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy. This historic overlap became a moment for faith leaders, advocates, and people of goodwill to gather in Memphis, TN, for For Such a Time as This: A Prophetic Response to America’s Defining Moment.
The event featured powerful messages from faith leaders and justice advocates, including:
- Rev. Karen Georgia Thompson – General Minister and President, UCC
- Bishop Yvette Flunder – The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries
- Bishop William J. Barber II – Repairers of the Breach & Poor People’s Campaign
- Rev. Terri Hord-Owens – Christian Church (Disciples of Christ)
- Rev. Sofia Betancourt – Unitarian Universalist Association
- Rev. Shane Claiborne – Red Letter Christians
- Rev. Moya Harris – Sojourners
These voices called for justice, equity, and unity in the face of divisive forces, reflecting Dr. King’s prophetic legacy.
