He actually began pastoring at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in 1954 (and was still pastoring there in 1955 when the boycott started).
At the age of 19, he graduated from Morehouse College and became a minister. He was 15 when he first became an assistant minister of the Ebenezer Baptist church, where his father was minister.
I believe the colour most closely associated with St John the Baptist is red. Whether or not it was his favourite is the topic of much theological debate and is an issue that still divides the Church.
In very old Baptist Congregations the Deacons used to use some hand signals during the offering of the tithe in order to be quiet and not interfere with any music or praying that was going on. I grew up in an olderÊSouthern Baptist Church, and some of the elders still do it.
Yes, Westminster Abbey was stolen by the Crown in the 16th century, and turned into a protestant church. It is still standing and used for coronations, royal weddings, etc.

I was in that situation 25 years ago. Methodist churches do have some that are more evangelical than others. If you can find an evangelical Methodist church, usually smaller than the "First Methodist of the City," then that would be the best of the compromise. Not to step on any toes but my spouse found the baptist churches in our southern town to be too judgmental for her Methodist upbringing. I found the Methodist church acceptable to my divergent beliefs in Bible study and I could still believe as a conservative baptist while still a member in the Methodist church.
The 1963 bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church was an act a racial violence. Back then, there was still dissension between Caucasians and African Americans. The Klu Klux Klan - a terrorist group that (believed in White Supremacy) targeted minorities, especially African Americans - were the ones that carried out this treacherous act. Sixteenth Street Baptist Church was the target because it was a key location in the Civil Rights movement were many leaders in the movement met. Hope this helped.
