The day after the March 6 shooting death of Tony Robinson, dozens of clergy members gathered at Christ the Solid Rock Baptist Church to pray.
The group’s composition crossed all boundaries — racial, ethnic, denominational, theological. “You just don’t have that every day in Madison,” said the Rev. Paula Harris, pastor of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Madison and one of those present.
The gathering became the impetus for an interfaith clergy coalition, one that continues to meet and whose value became publicly evident on May 12.
