A Call To Oneness seeks to find real solutions to real problems that plague our people and the communities where they live. The Rev. Ronald Lindsay, event coordinator, said, “When you live in one of the cities which leads the nation in homicides, you don’t have many options in terms of thinking about doing something. By addressing the issues at hand in thought provoking forums, creating strategies for employment and intervention then marching through the streets of the urban core, we hope to create a moral climate. We hope to reclaim, through the vehicle of reconciliation, respect for each other and the sanctity of life.” Rev. Darron Edwards notes, “A community-wide prayer service will be held Wednesday, August 27th at Canaan Worship Center (Pastor Tony Cobbins) located at 5333 East Bannister Road. The main event weekend will kick off with a “State of Emergency” Panel Discussion on Friday, September 12, 7p-10p, followed by “A Day of Information and Implementation” on Saturday, September 13 in various venues around the city, 10a-12:30a. Saturday will present a series of classes, a special political access strategy led by the Dr. Wallace S. Hartsfield, Sr. and “speak out” forums which deal with moral issues and concerns facing the African American community and the urban core environment. Sunday will conclude this phase of the movement by participating in a grand march that will culminate at Central Park located at 3501 East 31st Street at 2PM. This reconciliation march will draw attention to the synergy gained from a weekend of workshops, panel discussions and informational forums”.
