For more
than a year, GRCC
with our partners at Faith Community
Alliance and Baptist Ministers Alliance, listened to our
community
concerning the terrible violence that has afflicted us. After analyzing
700 comments from 500 people in eight forums on violence, we offer to
you ten community standards arising from the people. These standards
are like pillars on which the foundation of our new community can be
laid. We offer these standards as a Covenant
for the Beloved Community,
using the vision of Martin Luther King, Jr.,
"Our goal is to create a beloved community and this will require a
qualitative change in our souls as well as a quantitative change in our
lives."

The Beloved Community met
Sunday,
June 29, 2008 around a picnic lunch at the Highland Park
Bowl
on South Avenue. An array of leaders and variety of initiatives
creatively presented the ten standards. It was all done through music
from different groups, urban poetry slams, with people well known and
quiet heros little known.
