Part 2 of the Virtual Urban Summit continues on Saturday, May 1, in two parts: a morning webinar (10 AM to 12 PM) for all ages, and an afternoon webinar (12 PM to 2 PM) for youth.
Once again, the morning Summit will feature dynamic presenters who will, in turn, share “their wisdom, energy and experiences to help stir up our gifts and passion for radical, strategic, responsive urban ministry.”
Pursuing Urban Partnerships, Development & Renewal
The Rev. Joseph W. Daniels Jr., Lead Pastor of Emory Fellowship UMC in Washington DC, will share his empirical wisdom about “Pursuing Partnerships, Development & Urban Renewal.” Daniels is well-known for successfully shepherding Emory’s major, innovative redevelopment of the church and its surrounding community, including development of affordable housing and small businesses, through its affiliated, 501c3 nonprofit Emory Beacon of Light. Emory Fellowship is vibrant, intergenerational, predominantly Black congregation that works for justice and development opportunities in its community through effective partnerships.
Combating Violence through Faith-Based Healing
The Rev. Myra Maxwell is Lead Pastor of Trinity UMC in South Philadelphia and co-chairperson of the Conference’s Urban Commission, which sponsors the annual Urban Summits. A 2021 Denman Evangelism Awardee, she also directs Crisis Assistance Response and Engagement for Survivors of Homicide (CARES) for the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office, having previously done similar work on behalf of crime victims for other agencies.
