 ATLANTA (AP) - After a rendition of "Lift Every Voice and Sing" stirred worshippers at the new Ebenezer Baptist Church, the congregation paused to mourn the loss of Coretta Scott King — who remained a faithful member until her death.
Standing in the pulpit of the church's Horizon Sanctuary — across the street from the original Ebenezer, where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was a pastor with his father from 1960 to 1968 — the Rev. Raphael Warnock thanked King for her courage and wisdom.
"Praise God for Coretta Scott King," Warnock said Sunday. "Let the heavens rejoice for the witness of our sister."
