Sunday, January 11 the Greater Kansas City Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Celebration committee held their annual “Interfaith Service” at the Beth Shalom church. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and The Jewish Community Relations Bureau/American Jewish Community sponsored this event.
This is a beautiful church and one in which I have always driven by and wondered would I ever get an opportunity to photograph inside or photograph a Jewish wedding. When I walked in the doors, I was greeted by ushers who wanted all the males to wear a Yamaka. Now this was a first for me.
What makes this interfaith service so special is because it’s a time where all religions come together to partake in a word from the gospel. During the service they also give recognition to a prominent community leader and present them with the Evelyn Wasserstrom Award. This year’s honoree was Rev. Eric D. Williams, pastor of Calvary Temple Baptist Church.
Over 300 guests received a double dose of meditative thought from father and son, Rev. Dr. Emanuel Cleaver II and Rev. Dr. Emanuel Cleaver III around the topic of “A New Day in the World – A New Day in America”.
Congratulations Dr. Williams on your well deserved honor!

These pictures are absolutely breathtaking - you do such great work! The way you capture every expression is just amazing!! I love the picture of the "Beth Shalom" sign! The way the sun is reflecting off of the sign is very beautiful.
