More on "Holy Ground"

Protestant pastors from across the 64130 Zip Code met at St. Therese yesterday to talk about how we can work together to claim our neighborhoods as Holy Ground.  Several others telephoned to express their support.  Pastors expressed a desire to work together with CCO to learn how to reach out and listen to our neighbors and speak with a united voice.  Several also supported the idea of joining together for a service of praise and intercession for our neighbors.

Please post your ideas on how this will prevent people from killing other people. Maybe you should look at the type of conflict resolution programs that the KCPD is doing in order to prevent conflicts from being solved violently. There are two catholic churches in the zip code 64130 which has the MOST MURDERERS IN THE STATE! How can you call that 'Holy Ground'?

We still have parishioners in the zip code and our churches are sanctuaries of the presence of Christ. Those are two good reasons. I think it is time to reclaim our neighborhood. The Catholic churches are in a good position to provide some leadership.
