From Ferguson to Seattle: The Challenge to Hope @The Well
In addition to small dialogues across the city, the public is invited to a panel conversation with organizers from Ferguson, MO, who will help us understand what happened, what the Justice Department had to say, and how Ferguson and Seattle and other cities are not so different.
ALL ARE WELCOME REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY.
Joining us from Ferguson are The Rev. Dr. F. Willis Johnson and Father Steve Lawler...and maybe others.
The Rev. Dr. F. Willis Johnson is pastor at Wellspring UMC in Ferguson, MO. He came to prominence in August 2014 during the protests in Ferguson, MO, where he served as a peacekeeper and organizer. Read about Pastor Johnson here in Time: http://time.com/author/dr-f-willis-johnson/
Father Steve Lawler: an unlikely priest (ask his high school friends) the Rev. Steve Lawler not only leads St Stephens & The Vine, he is faculty and coordinator in University College at Washington University in St Louis. An organizational psychologist who works with clients on culture and organizational sustainability, he is grateful for the many ways that he is able to work with others for the common good.
His recent Huffington Post piece Six Months Later, Grief and Hope in Ferguson describes Ferguson 6 months after the killing of Michael Brown.
