Reverend Dr. Joseph E. Lowery will deliver the Easter Sunday service at Camp Casey
Having recently read MLK's Autobiography, I am so moved to find out that while I am in Crawford, I will get to meet Rev. Lowery who co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. This is as close as I will ever get to meeting MLK. Goosebumps and tears at the realization... Dr. Lowery is considered the dean of the Civil Rights movement. Oh, the stories he could tell. I just read that he is 85 years old!

For Immediate Release
Dr. Lowery, Dean of Civil Rights Movement, to give Easter sermon at Camp Casey in Crawford
Reverend Dr. Joseph E. Lowery will deliver the Easter Sunday service at Camp Casey to a diverse group of attendees, including veterans, consumer, peace and civil rights advocates. Following the Easter morning worship, Dr. Lowery will officiate at the Third Anniversary Celebration and Prayer Service of the Crawford Peace House on April 16, 2006, at 1:00 PM in the Garden at 9142 East 5th Street , (Highway 185) Crawford, TX. All are invited. For more information visit the web site www.crawfordpeacehouse. org or call 254-486-0099.
The anniversary prayer service will close several days of activities featuring Dr. Lowery as the keynote speaker, beginning Thursday of Easter Week in Crawford. The Rev. Dr. Lowery is co-founder with Martin Luther King, Jr. of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and served as president and chief executive officer from 1977 to January 15, 1998. Most recently, the Rev. Dr. Lowery gave the eulogy at the memorial service for Coretta Scott King. The Crawford Peace House has recently become a Texas affiliate of the SCLC.
The final leg of the 120 mile, March to Redeem the Soul of America, which began on April 1, at ExxonMobil headquarters in Irving, will conclude on Good Friday with a Stations of the Cross walk beginning at the Crawford Peace House, past the security checkpoint near the Bush Ranch. The walk finalizes at Camp Casey where peace mom, Cindy Sheehan will again pitch her tent at Camp Casey near the vacation retreat of President George W. Bush.
The Rev. Peter Johnson, one of the organizers of the March to Redeem the Soul of America, along with Consumers for Peace, said there is something fundamentally wrong with our nations' soul when rich cities such as Dallas, home to large multinational corporations such as ExxonMobil who registered record profits in 2005, still have people living under bridges. "Christ told us to feed the hungry, house the homeless and clothe the naked. That's why we must march. That's why we must go to the Western White House during resurrection week and try to redeem the soul of America."
