Following Worship on April 7, East Church was thrilled to present a panel discussion entitled "New Perspectives: Connecting to the Future." Seven local officials and social services representatives from Milton and Quincy accepted our invitation to participate.

The panelists were asked to comment, from their individual perspectives, on what they view as the biggest issues in our communities both currently and in the near future, and also how faith communities in general and East Church in particular can minister to those issues.

Participants in the panel were Richard Wells (Chief, Milton Police), Claire Hagen (Interfaith Social Services), Mary Gormley (Superintendent of Schools, Milton), Michael Cunningham (Veteran Affairs Coordinator), Mary Anne Sullivan (Milton Council on Aging), Anne Mahoney (Quincy School Committee) and Brian Palmucci (Quincy City Council).
