2011 Heschel-King Interfaith Service



The 14th Annual Heschel-King Interfaith Service was a fitting tribute to the friendship of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel. The evening was especially warm and intimate, with the combined choirs of The Park and Congregation Da'at Elohim leading us in prayer.

Rev. Dr. Jon M. Walton, Senior Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in the City of New York, received the 8th Annual Heschel-King Award for Interfaith Activism. His sermon, "Is there only one God, and is ours the right one?" was a paen to interfaith acceptance and cooperation.
