Clergy Summit To Address Violence in Baltimore City
With as many shootings and homicides in one week than there are days; with Baltimore residents feeling less and less safe; with our young people increasingly becoming targets of others’ irresponsible behavior; with our political officials doing the best they can (in some cases) to address and eradicate violence in Baltimore City, the time is NOW for the faith-based community to step up in an even greater way as a collective body to confront the fast growing culture of violence that is infiltrating too many communities and devastating too many families.
As we both recognize and applaud the current efforts of those faith-based entities that are doing great work throughout the city, this upcoming Clergy Summit is a call for a more collective process of engagement; one that crosses faith, doctrine, and denominational lines in the name of RESTORING HOPE AND RESURRECTING MORALITY. It is our hope therefore that pastors, clergy, youth pastors, youth leaders, and community-based program providers throughout this city will meet us on Thursday, June 14, 2007 at Israel Baptist Church of Baltimore City (where Rev. H. Walden Wilson, II is pastor), located at 1220 N. Chester Street from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. for this most powerful event.
