Faith and civic leaders will gather Jan. 27 at the Italian Community Center for the fifth annual State of Milwaukee Symposium sponsored by the evangelical Christian group BASICS and the National Christian Foundation’s Wisconsin chapter.
More than 200 people are expected to attend the event, whose focus will be “Engaging Leaders in a City Transformation Movement.” Speakers will include Eric J. Swanson, co-author of the 2010 book “Transform a City,” which explores the ways Christian churches can address social problems that plague urban areas.
