SUGGESTION

• Speak briefly to the Christian view of peace/justice here

• Also speak to CCD philosophy (emphasis on dignity, neighboring, and that “good intentions” aren’t enough)

– Too controversial? Or a strong point?

“To see Jesus Christ as the true source of spiritual, physical, and economic growth in Detroit.”

“To seek the holistic revitalization of Detroit’s 48214 community, block by block, neighbor by neighbor.”
