(Needs a lot of work here... but it'll be greatly worth it, to collect such an informational page... and help all these leaders get to know each other and be able to work together in some practical ways.  Don't forget, this will impact our 'State of the Church at Indianapolis' report.  We want to specially consider community-ministries having to do with the whole crime issue.  Someone wanna help edit this page in a big way?????)
