Title:
Benjamin E. Mays - "Martin Luther King, Jr." Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Service (January 11, 1976)
Description:

  • Young addresses the parable on new wine in fresh skins, likening the wineskins to our lives and how we live and the wine to our experiences and how we accept the environment around us. He urges the audience to be receptive to or at least observe new experiences in order to not allow life to be come stale. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)

  • Key quotation: "Most of us live lives partially closed and set - like old wineskins, we would break and fall apart before we would accept and live with change or new."
