Nearly a dozen of the regionâs pastors and religious leaders led a group of about 50 people in words of Scripture, hope and unity Sunday afternoon during a prayer vigil for Isaiah Brown, his family and the county deputy involved in a shooting last month from which Brown remains hospitalized.
âWhat we hope to promote today is unity within our community to work through difficult circumstances together with unbiased grace, discernment, truth and love with an eye towards impartial justice,â said Temaki Carr, founder and CEO of Fredericksburgâs Loving the Nations Missions Ministry.
Carr is part of the One Church Rappahannock Region, a group of Black and white evangelical Christian churches formed after the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis Police officer almost one year ago. That incident touched off protests across the country, including the Fredericksburg region.
