The local paper is talking about this event with a press conference in moments. Thirty churches in what many consider the ‘bad part” of town are coming together to do something. These churches span the gamut on denominations – Baptist, Church of God in Christ, Independent Churches, and more.

I spoke to one of these leaders about two years ago and attended a banquet held to raise money for those fighting to reduce crime and violence. He is dedicated to young people knowing about God and young people being safe in their own homes.

This is the promise of unity to me. What will the community think about Christianity as a result of these men? I believe it will be very positive, especially when the sectarian strife ends in order to Do Some Good (TM) for the community.
