 In what has become one of the most celebrated annual events at
McCormick, the 2009 Martin Luther King Jr. Service of Praise &
Worship will host the Reverend Dr. John W. Kinney and the Imani Ya
Watume Youth Choir from Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago on
Friday, January 16. The service will be held at Augustana Chapel, 1100
E. 55th St. and begins with praise and prayer at 6:30 p.m.
Sponsored by McCormick's Center for African American Ministries and Black Church Studies, the service traditionally brings to the pulpit a distinguished African American preacher and scholar to enliven the theology and social vision of Dr. King for new generations of church and community leaders.
 Dr. John Kinney is one of today's most revered acamedicians and pastors coming out of the Black Church tradition. Under his leadership as Dean of the Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology at Virginia Union University, the school established a Doctor of Ministry Program and saw unprecedented growth in its Master of Divinity program as well as its Continuing Education program. He holds the Ph.D. from Columbia University/Union Theological Seminary in New York and has taught in several institutions of higher education including Chicago Theological Seminary, Union-PSCE in Richmond, Virginia, as well as the College of William and Mary and Randolph Macon College. Dr. Kinney also serves as Pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Beaverdam, Virginia.
