By Kimberly Davis, CBS Philadelphia April 17, 2021 Numerous organizations are seeing firsthand the gun violence in Philadelphia become more severe. Now, multiple faiths are joining forces to combat it. "There's a circle that consists of home, church, school, business, which makes up the community. That circle has been broken," said Elder Calvin Rooks, with Christ Restoration Evangelist. Inter-Faith Social Change Movement is working to reconnect that circle. The group is a nonprofit organization made up of several faiths, business owners, educators and community leaders throughout the city.
