In response to a community plea, Bishop Christopher Brown of the Sword of Truth Church partners with Florence city leaders to combat increasing gun violence. Their collaboration follows a deadly Mother’s Day shooting at a local nightclub, which left one dead and six injured, prompting Brown to emphasize the urgent need for community initiatives to address the spiraling violence.
Brown proposes a series of outreach events, including community rallies and outdoor services, aimed at connecting with residents who may not engage with traditional religious settings.

The leaders stress the importance of community involvement and the potential impact of shared efforts in making Florence a safer place.
