Over the weekend of February 4th and 5th, 2017, Asbury Memorial hosted a community conversation to explore our calling as Christians to join with one another as One Body of Christ in a struggle against oppression. During the Sunday morning worship service, Bishop Talbert and Reconciling Ministries Network’s executive director, Matthew Berryman, shared their stories of doing justice work and how their faith has led them to be involved in the work of Reconciling Ministries Network.
