Pillars of Strength

The Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel – the world’s most prominent religious memorial to Dr. King – was dedicated in 1978 under the presidency of Dr.Hugh Morris Gloster. As a building, the Chapel is a multi-purpose campus facility that serves alternately as a worship space, academic classroom, and venue for cultural and community events. As a program, the Chapel is the hub for educational and spiritual activities centered on promoting Dr. King’s ideal of the Beloved World Community. This includes training in the principles of virtue-ethics, nonviolence, service and harmony, as well as programming that develops awareness and skills in vocational discernment, love and forgiveness, and peace and nonviolence.
