Welcome to a new season of Critical Conversations, insightful discussions that educate, empower, and inspire! They concentrate on critical issues and concerns of clergy, the community, and beyond, focusing on those impediments that impact us most in their breadth, scope, and relevance. TONIGHT, Monday, March 16, 2026, we continue to embrace HOPE! Though conditions in this nation and world have not changed, in fact, circumstances have intensified and become dire. In spite of all this, our prayer is for people to take up the mantle and the words of the late Rev. Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr., and "KEEP HOPE ALIVE,"
