Congregations Turning Faith Into Action

To continue last fall’s GGS Community Forum conversation of Turning Faith Into Action, the March GGS meeting will feature area faith leaders who will discuss their congregation’s gun violence prevention efforts.

Rabbi Doug Alpert of the Congregation Kol Ami in Kansas City, MO.; Dr. Sofia Khan, chairperson of the Interfaith Committee at the Islamic Center of Johnson County; and Rev. Dr. Chris Wilson, pastor of St. Andrew Christian Church in Olathe; will share how their faiths guide them through addressing the role firearms play in violence. Also, Village Presbyterian Church Village for Gun Sense committee chair and GGS board member Carol Gee will share from their perspective.

The Advocacy Action for this meeting is to bring nonperishable food that will be taken to metro area food pantries.
