On October 27, 2001, we launched the ACLC, Ohio Chapter with 8 ministers in attendance from different denominations, races and cultures. We had 4 black ministers vs. 4 white ministers. We focused our discussion on the mission statement of the ACLC that brought lot of interest and enthusiasm from the ministers. As a result, all the 8 ministers signed up to be members of the ACLC. The Orthodox Catholic Priest, John Cassian was very inspired at his first meeting with us and promised to be a great supporter, he loves interfaith activities. We went over the 9 points in the mission statement of the ACLC and asked the ministers to choose three important points among the 9. Among the selected three points, the number one was to dissolve racial barriers by practicing the principle of loving one's enemies. This point becomes the topic of discussion for our next ACLC Prayer Breakfast Meeting scheduled for November 17, 2001. We will invite top ministers in Ohio to be among the speakers.
Ohio is moving forward to unite Christianity and other religions.
