Create Change

In February of 2021, we held our first Black History Month webinar, “CCJM Presents: Breaking the Cycle of Crime and Incarceration” hosted by co-chairs Pastor Rob Meikle and Michael “Pinball” Clemons. We discussed the role racism and inequality play in perpetuating the cycle of crime and incarceration in Black, Indigenous, and other marginalized communities across Canada. We placed an emphasis on highlighting solutions by spotlighting organizations that are doing the work in our communities to break these cycles. 

Our time together featured an exciting group of guest speakers and service providers including Apostle Rick Ciaramitaro, Pastor Pat Francis, Dr. Wendell Adjetey, Tim Day, Pastor Isaac Gimba, Joel Gordon, Jamil Jivani, The Salvation Army, and Prison Fellowship Canada. 

Take a look at the video to see how you can be part of creating change as we continue to embrace the essential role we as Christians play in racial reconciliation and justice work.
