Father Greg Boyle, an American Jesuit priest and the founder and director of Homeboy Industries and author of "Tattoos on the Heart," will visit Syracuse and present during the workshop "The Calling of Delight: Gangs, Service and Kinship." This is not the work of helping, but of finding kinship and “our common calling to delight in one another,” the point of Christian service. The workshop will also feature members from the Trauma Response Team. The morning panel will include Larry Williams (moderator), Tim Jennings Bey, Arnett Haygood-El and others who have struggled with life within the gang culture. A second workshop will follow, "The Methodology: Love, Community and Tenderness." At this workshop, Boyle will share that, in working with marginalized populations, love is the answer, community is the context and tenderness binds us to one another.
