SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (BP) – Springfield can rise above the bomb threats and vitriol suffered since the city was thrust into an unfavorable spotlight on the Sept. 10 presidential debate stage, Florida Pastor Keny Felix said after collaborating with diverse Springfield leaders.

“It’s great to see different aspects of the community, from the mayor, to the NAACP, to the pastors all coming together – to the Help Center, to churches like Northside (Baptist Church of Springfield), to churches like the Haitian churches we went to there, all coming together to respond to the need,” Felix told Baptist Press Sept. 18 after two days of meetings in Springfield. “And what we’re seeing is that through that collaboration, I see hope there and an opportunity for the community to thrive above the division and the divisiveness that’s been spread.”
