"Any abuse or prejudice toward another because of race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, culture, or any other identifiers is offensive to our maker, and defies the first and second great commandments, that we should love God with all our hearts and our neighbors as ourselves.
"You can always count on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints," the Rev. Carter said to cheers and applause. Afterward he said he was grateful it also was record-setting for being the largest Caucasian audience ever to attend a Morehouse event, a goal he had for the annual WorldHouse Interfaith and Interdenominational Assembly.
The Rev. Carter, a longtime fan of the Tabernacle Choir, said the choir and the two glee clubs are exploring a future performance together. Tabernacle Choir President Mike Leavitt said all three parties are interested and working on details and logistics. "I deliberately placed them by each other. This is really significant," said the Rev. Carter, who previously has said Joseph Smith was two decades ahead of Lincoln on abolition.
Morehouse College President David Thomas and new Spelman College President Helene Gayle attended the ceremony. Thomas noted during a morning event that Thursday marked one week after the 55th anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. King, a Morehouse alumnus.
