Another substantive, uplifting and challenging conversation Friday as we brought on church leaders to talk about the state of our faith communities. Joel Natalie interviewed Bishop Lawrence Persico, head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Erie in a wide-ranging conversation about protecting and reaching out to the 1,000’s of Catholics in the geographically-largest diocese in Pennsylvania. Then Pastor Nichole Schreiber of Erie First Assembly of God, and Pastor Chuck Nelson or The Cross-Erie spoke about meeting the physical and spiritual needs of those in their congregations and in the community.
