Re: Apex Consulting presents the 7th One Love Gala
One Love Gala 2019:
Rehab
The One Love gala was inspired by Bob Marley’s song one
love!
Some seven years ago, when diversity chaplaincy was under
threat, thanks to a Minister who thought otherwise, I was sitting distraught
and this song was playing. I thought to myself that we must have an event that
both celebrates our work with those incarcerated and advocates for the continuation
of this crucial service. The name suited it so much as interfaith leaders and
people from all walks of life joined us for an evening of much love! This
year’s 7th anniversary will be held on Sat Feb. 2nd at Elite Banquet Hall 1850 Albion Rd Toronto with Keynote
by the American University female Chaplain Tahera Ahmed discussing the
indispensable nature of diversity chaplains prisons!
