Northern & Central Louisiana Interfaith Accountability Session
Thursday, November 7, 7 - 8:30 p.m.
Mt. Zion Baptist Church
on the east side of No. 18th St.
between Louisville & Washington Avenues.
Interfaith leaders will present an agenda of concerns and ask Monroe City School Board members and representatives to the Louisiana House and Senate to commit to working with us to address problems in education at all levels, health care, workforce development and mass incarceration.
For the first time, higher education is on the agenda. Interfaith is deeply concerned about the devastating budget cuts ULM and other colleges and universities across Louisiana have suffered. The ULM faculty and staff senates will be represented at the meeting to call for support sustainable access to affordable, high quality secondary education.
This is an opportunity to see democracy with a small "d" in action as a diverse coalition of institutions that cross traditional boundaries of religion, race, social class and geography come together to speak with one voice! We will demonstrate strictly nonpartisan politics at its best.
Oh, and BTW, your Canterbury Chaplain will speak to how our Interfaith method is grounded in Holy Scripture. Be there!
