ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION
FEATURING NVLP VISIONARY:

Sister Mary Alice Chineworth
Recorded April 3, 2003


TOPIC: The Church In The Black Community: Which Way From Here?

Sister Mary Alice Chineworth, religious leader, educator, and NVLP Visionary, has dedicated 64 years of service to the Catholic Church. An active member of the Oblate Sisters of Providence in Baltimore, MD, she remains devoted to the education and welfare of the African American community.

Sister Chineworth headlined an insightful roundtable discussion on the role of the church in the black community, at a time when families and leaders are desperately seeking solutions to today's problems.

• Does the church still fulfill its dynamic and historic role in community affairs?
• In what ways can religious institutions work with other faiths as well as secular organizations to serve the community?
• How can the church best speak to the hearts and minds of young people eagerly searching for real answers and results?

During the first part of the two-hour Roundtable, members of the intergenerational audience, limited to 20 guests, discussed these issues with Sister Mary Alice Chineworth one-on-one.

In the second part of the Roundtable, Imam Mahdi Bray, President of the Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations, and Roxanne L. Lawson, journalist and community activist, joined Sister Chineworth in the discussion.

This roundtable discussion is part of a series of intimate, intergenerational dialogues with NVLP Visionary Elders. All discussions are held at NVLP headquarters (1218 16th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20036), and are moderated by Renee Poussaint, NVLP Co-Founder and Executive Director.
