Community Issues:
The restoration of the Shaw 54th Regiment Civil War Memorial
Here is a perfect event for a church to sponsor when there are issues of a symbolic nature in the community. In this case, the event was held at a church, the Tremont Temple in downtown Boston, although it did not sponsor it. Think of your town square and what history may need addressing there.
