Second of two parts
BY GALE HORTON GAY
The world is in turmoil, and
sometimes it seems our lives
face more challenges than we
can handle. The Champion
Newspaper has asked spiritual
and community leaders
throughout DeKalb County for
their views on what the world
and DeKalb County need now to
be a better place. In part two of
this exploration, we ask what we
can do as individuals to achieve
a better world and what these
leaders are praying and hoping
for in 2019.
Sharing their thoughts with
us are: Charles Bennafield,
pastor of Flat Rock Community
Church in Stonecrest; Jeani
Chang, president of Atlanta
Women Taiwanese Association
and an epidemiologist at
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention; Lucy Ke, a
metro Atlanta trainer and course
developer with an emphasis on
cross-cultural customer service,
workplace civility and civic
engagement, and John Semmes,
interim pastor of Shallowford
Presbyterian Church in Atlanta.
WHAT CAN WE DO AS IN
DIVIDUALS TO ACHIEVE A
BETTER WORLD/COMMU
NITY?
Bennafield: Put our gifts and
skills to use and live out our
God-given talents looking for the
opportunities to be difference-
makers who recognize that no
matter where we are, someone
else helped to blaze a trail for
us to get us to this point in life.
We must pay it forward for
those who follow so that their
world will be at least as good if
not significantly better. So, the
mental shift with expectancy and
love for all humanity is what
is required for us to shift the
paradigm.
Chang: Eveiy action we take
and eveiy decision we make
