Was Martin Luther King Jr turned down as a potential pastor of Calvary Baptist church in Oklahoma City?
Unfortunately, yes. In 1953, when he was fresh out of Crozier Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania, Martin Luther King Jr. came to Calvary Baptist looking for a job. He preached at the church, but apparently didn't make a good enough impression because he was too young: He was turned away. King returned to Calvary Baptist in 1960, this time as the leading light of the Civil Rights Movement. He was the keynote speaker at a "freedom rally" that drew a crowd of about 1,500.
