Monks’ Walk for Peace coming to Charlotte

A group of Buddhist monks is trekking 2,300 miles across 10 states, and their Walk for Peace will pass right through Charlotte between January 10 and 20, 2026. Their journey isn’t a protest—it’s a call to awaken the peace and kindness already within us. If you spot them on the road, remember: this is a time for quiet reflection, not cheering. Aloka the Peace Dog, who joined the monks in India, will be along for the walk too! Keep an eye on their live map and Facebook for updates on the exact route. How do you feel about this peaceful movement passing through our city? #Religion #WalkForPeace #CharlotteNC

Monks’ Walk for Peace inspires Atlanta after tragedy

A Buddhist monk’s journey for peace took a dramatic turn when Phra-Ajarnh Maha Dam Phommasan lost his leg after being struck during the Walk for Peace. Now back home in Snellville, he’s been reunited with fellow monks, and the movement has gained newfound attention across Atlanta. Phommasan’s resilience and outlook—finding peace even after such a life-changing event—has sparked conversations about safety, faith, and the power of community. How do you think this story changes the way we see peaceful protests and the risks people take for their beliefs? #Religion #WalkForPeace #Atlanta

Baltimore’s youth shine at Elevate 2025

Baltimore just saw nearly 2,500 people—mostly kids and teens—come together downtown for Elevate 2025, the AME Zion Church’s winter conference. The energy was incredible, with families and leaders from all over gathering for powerful worship and hands-on workshops. What stood out most? The focus on helping young people grow in faith and leadership, right here in our city. It’s not every day you see this kind of commitment to nurturing the next generation. How do you think events like this shape our community’s future? #Religion #Baltimore #Elevate2025

Why Watch Night Is Deeper Than NYE

Watch Night isn’t just about ringing in the new year—it’s a powerful tradition rooted in Freedom’s Eve, when Black communities gathered in 1862 to await the Emancipation Proclamation. Today, churches across the country still hold these late-night services filled with prayer, music, and hope, reflecting on the past and looking forward to a brighter future. It’s way more meaningful than just a midnight countdown! #Religion #WatchNight #NewYearsEve

Columbia’s Bishop Hewitt inspires with bold outreach

Bishop Paul Hewitt is making waves in Columbia by breaking down barriers between the church and the community. His approach isn’t just about Sunday sermons—he’s out there connecting with people from all walks of life, drawing on lessons from his civil rights activism in Philadelphia. Hewitt’s belief in “creative porosity” means he wants the church to be open and available to everyone, not just its members. It’s a refreshing take on what it means to serve, and it’s sparking real change in how faith and community interact here. How do you think local leaders can make an even bigger impact? #Religion #ColumbiaSC #CommunityImpact
