Easter at Amway takes on new meaning
Two Central Florida churches said they hoped to put those divides aside and show unity in the city of Orlando for Easter Sunday by filling the Amway Center.
It's a new way of celebrating for both the First Baptist Church of Orlando and The Hope church,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
It's not uncommon for the First Baptist Church of Orlando,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], described as a multicultural congregation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and the predominantly African-American Hope Church to work together.
"These days in Central Florida have been very difficult days,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], because the attention of the nation has been on us, and it hasn't always been in the best spin or the best light," said Dr. David Uth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], senior pastor at First Baptist Orlando, referring specifically to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin in nearby Sanford. "But we thought,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 'Wow, who knows what God is going to use this as a demonstration of oneness, where all races can come together?'"
"I'm Puerto Rican and Italian my husband is Cuban, but we are all here, we all bleed the same kind of blood, we are all human," said one woman attending the service with her family.
That family said they love the idea of everyone coming together.
They said they raised their children to believe everyone is the same,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"Very proud because whenever I ask my daughter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she always says 'I'm part of the human race,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],'" explained Jimmy Casatevell.
Church leaders said the service was planned before the Trayvon Martin case came to light,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but say it couldn't come at a better time.
"We had no idea of the events that would transpire,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but now looking back I am so glad we are doing this because maybe it will take some of the negative light off of Central Florida and perhaps give us a breath of hope," said Senior Pastor David Uth.
Organizers say 15,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 people the free church service at the Amway Center.
They also collected 4,000 pairs of shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which is more than double what they expected.
Those shoes will be distributed among the Coalition to the Homeless,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], The Orlando Union Rescue mission,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Salvation Army and Christian Service Center.
