National Black Religious Summit 11 on Sexuality

The eleventh annual National Black Religious Summit on Sexuality was a huge success. Over 400 adults and 200 youth participated in this year's Summit. Clergy, laity and youth from all over the country met at Howard University School of Divinty to learn, pray and worship. Participants joined together to create solidarity and lift up issues such as teen pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, violence, sex offenders in church, body image, and the beautiful gift of sexuality.
