The Kindness of Strangers
The end of July brought the biggest convention to town since Hurricane Katrina, but it wasn't doctors, lawyers or other professionals. In fact, it wasn't even adults. It was 37,000 teenagers and their chaperones from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), who filled hotels all over town for the 2009 ELCA Youth Gathering, which they called "Jesus, Justice and Jazz."
This is an excerpt from a wonderful article that expressed the thanks and gratitude of the people of New Orleans for the work, and simply the presence of, the youth who attended the ELCA 2009 Youth Gathering.
