“Lay people need to be educated and ordained ministers and pastors need lay people to be educated and to have access to education in a way that does not completely disrupt their lives. But they can do something for a month or a few weeks and be changed and have the opportunity over and over again.” – Rev. Gabrielle Kennedy, St. Luke AME Church, MO
