Mayor Tom Henry on July 20 announced that he will partner with a number of African-American pastors to create a group called the Ubuntu Collaborative.
Ubuntu means “I am because we are,” and the hope of the newly developed group is to reignite the rich history of advocacy and collective impact that was present in the generations of unified African-American pastors that came before, according to an announcement from Henry’s office. Also, the goal is to further engage and serve the African-American community by uniting the strengths, talents and passions of all of the pastors who will be a part of the Ubuntu Collaborative.
