Appomattox Community Pastors Pray for Unity and Peace
by Adam Tyler
We live in times of distress and anger, fear, and a longing for justice. As the church, we are called to stand for just treatment of all people and seek peace for our communities. One good way we do that is by joining together with the full diversity of God’s church in our communities in prayer and in witness.
Last night, I had the opportunity to be part of such a time of prayer in my own community of Appomattox. Pastors from across denominational traditions and a diversity of backgrounds, and churches from every part of our county, joined together in prayers of lament and hope. Three other BGAV pastors, Chad Harris, Dan Davis, and Mitch Luckie, were part of this time of prayer, and several of our area BGAV churches were part of the diverse congregation gathered in unity and joint purpose.
