A panel of faith leaders will come together Thursday night at 6:30 pm to discuss the “Christian response to all violence,” especially violence on the North Side, says organizer David Hart, senior pastor at Sherman Avenue United Methodist Church on Madison’s North Side.
“Obviously in our city, there are resources for the South Side, the West Side, all of the sides of town, but I’m from here on the North Side of town and there has been a spike of violence that I haven’t seen before,” Hart says. But the conversation won’t be limited to what’s happening on the North Side — Hart says all violence is on the table, including the recent events in Charlottesville, Virginia.
