“Where do we go from here: chaos or community?” — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., April 1967 

From African American Christian Clergy Coalition: Bishop Hutterer joins other Christian leaders at the Arizona State Capitol for an event entitled “From Chaos and Crisis to Community in Christ: The Church Addresses Systemic Racism through Repentance, Reconciliation and Restoration.” The event will be live-streamed on the African American Christian Clergy Coalition Facebook page: facebook.com/Afamccc/

Christian leaders from diverse ethnicities and denominations in the Phoenix metropolitan area are gathering for prayer and repentance. We, as the church, begin this movement seeking God in repentance for sins of commission and omission as it relates to systemic racism and separatism, followed by prayer for peace and unity in our city, state and nation.
