LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Congratulations to our new Chief Thompson
To the Editor:
On behalf of all the officers and members, and the community of faith, we, the Ministers’ Conference of Winston-Salem & Vicinity, pause in time to say congratulations to the new Police Chief of Winston Salem, Chief Catrina A. Thompson!
It is a time of celebration and collaboration.
The Minister’s Conference has been very fortunate to have had a great working relationship with the previous chief, Barry Rountree, and consider it our opportunity in time to continue working for the common good of all citizens with Chief Catrina A. Thompson!
When trust and mutual respect are the interwoven fibers of an authentic relationship, the opportunities for positive outcomes are inevitable and unlimited. Police and community are necessary elements in effective partnerships toward the work of reducing crime and improving public safety. We all deserve to live and co-exist in a safe and healthy society.
In closing, we do not know what tomorrow holds but we do know who holds tomorrow. Having a pre-established relationship and mutual trust serve as the conduit for the mandate set forth by our Heavenly Father in Isaiah 1:18 “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD.”
We continue to look forward to being at the table of discussion for the betterment of the community we all serve.
Because of Calvary …
Rev. Dr. Lamonte Williams, President, Minister’s Conference of Winston Salem & Vicinity
