This week CCT celebrates its Annual Meeting in Newark, NJ.
The main topic in our conversations will be "Mass Incarceration". We will look at different perspectives on how to address this serious issue in our country; we will also deepen our relationships and celebrate the gifts we have received from God through our savior Jesus Christ.
