and

with
Charles
McRay

Professor

By

Tell Us
USA News
Network
DETROIT
- The
Institute
for
Advanced
Pastoral
Studies,
a
diverse
and
ecumenical
network
of
leading
pastors
in Metro
Detroit
organized
by
Hartford
Memorial
Baptist
Church
and
Christ
Church
Cranbrook
will
host a
Zoom
webinar
with
Charles
M. Blow
of The
New York
Times
and
Professor
Angela
Dillard
of The
University
of
Michigan
to
discuss
racial
disparities,
inequity,
and the
COVID-19
pandemic.
Rev.
Charles
Christian
Adams
(Hartford
Memorial
Baptist
Church)
and the
Rev. Dr.
William
J.
Danaher
Jr.
(Christ
Church
Cranbrook)
will
participate
as
panelists.
This
important,
informative
Webinar
will
take
place on
Wednesday,
April 29
at 7 pm.
“The
COVID-19
pandemic
will
require
pastors
and
other
religious
leaders
in Metro
Detroit
from
every
social
sector
to
rethink
how they
exercise
their
leadership,”
said The
Rev. Dr.
William
J.
Danaher,
Jr.
“Given
the high
level of
infection
in Metro
Detroit,
and the
disproportionate
burden
of the
pandemic
being
borne by
African
Americans
here, it
will be
impossible
for
pastoral
leaders
to move
forward
with our
work
unless
we
address
this
urgent
issue in
a timely
way.”
“Many of
our
congregations
are
located
in the
viral
‘hotspots’-
areas
where
race and
lack of
privilege
have
left
these
pastors
and
congregations
vulnerable
physically
and
economically,”
said the
Rev.
Charles
Christian
Adams,
“Therefore
it is
imperative
for us
to hear
from
Charles
M. Blow,
who has
been a
leading
voice
regarding
the
intersectionality
of race,
poverty,
and the
COVID-19
pandemic.
Dr.
Angela
Dillard
also
knows
the
religious
landscape
in
Detroit
better
than
anyone,
so this
will be
a vital
conversation
for us
to
have.”
Hartford
Church
is one
of the
oldest
and well
respected
churches
in the
nation.
This
webinar
will
address
the
following
topics:
• The
racial
disparities
and
inequities
that
have
contributed
to the
disproportionate
number
of
African
Americans
affected
by
COVID-19
• What
new
partnerships
and
paradigms
might
develop
as a
result
of this
pandemic
• How
the
COVID-19
pandemic
is
shaping
our
common
life
now, and
in the
future
• How
religious
leaders
can
continue
to work
together
to
address
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and its
aftermath
.
What
role can
all
faith
communities
play
right
now?
