Dr. Marion D. Thorpe, Jr., Congressional Candidate for District 23 (Florida), Aims Focus on Black Churches
Dr. Marion D. Thorpe, Jr., Congressional Candidate for Florida's 23rd District (CD 23), focuses on assisting African-American churches gain a stronger foothold with younger members of the community. Dr. Thorpe expresses his belief that many of our community ills can be overcome by strengthening the presence and outreach of African-American churches. The Thorpe '08 P.E.A.C.E. initiative will be boosted by strong growth in community churches throughout the 23rd Congressional District of Florida.
West Palm Beach, FL, September 27, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Dr. Marion D. Thorpe, Jr. is running for Congress in Florida's 23rd District. Throughout the past six (6) months, Dr. Thorpe has conducted a "Listening and Looking" tour of CD 23 in an effort to better understand the plight of the people who reside in the five (5) county Congressional District comprised of Palm Beach County, Broward County, Martin County, Hendry County, and St. Lucie County. "Though one is hard-pressed to find one (1) suitable corrective action for the many ills affecting the people of CD 23, I am convinced that strengthening the community-wide back-bone of African-American churches in Florida's 23rd District will go a long way towards boosting the goals of my P.E.A.C.E. initiative for the good people of District 23," states Dr. Marion D. Thorpe, Jr. At its core, Dr. Thorpe's P.E.A.C.E. platform is aimed at ushering the disenfranchised residents of CD 23 into the American Dream process. By focusing on the historical significance and modern-day importance of African-American churches, Dr. Thorpe's candidacy signals his effort to revive our "Black Churches" so that they may continue to serve as the "Glue" that holds the broader community together in a proactive, productive, and responsible manner.
"On any given Sunday, experience has shown me that church pews throughout CD 23 are mostly filled by the elderly and young children. Both the teenage and middle age populations appear to be dwindling from church attendance and participation," explains Dr. Thorpe. The Thorpe '08 platform is fully committed to promoting the revival of church stature and fellowship outreach throughout CD 23. Dr. Marion D. Thorpe, Jr. pledges to stimulate interest and membership in "Black Churches" once he is elected to Congress in 2008. "By creating 'A New Day, A New Way' throughout the widespread African-American church community of Florida's 23rd Congressional District, my campaign proudly intends to stimulate and extol the heightened stature of our churches as the stalwart community centerpiece of religious fulfillment, family interaction, social awareness, and personal growth. In essence, I very much so want to see more and more people regard the church as a guiding shoreline beacon in the sometimes rough waters of the fast-paced 21st century," proclaims Dr. Thorpe.
Dr. Marion D. Thorpe, Jr. calls upon all Pastors, Reverends, and religious leaders to identify creative and effective methods for bolstering church enrollment and attendance numbers. As for his part, Dr. Thorpe pledges to identify suitable funding mechanisms that will allow extended after-school programs, field trips to places of interest and learning, extensive Health screenings, and a broader cache of important community services for all age ranges. "With the ever-expanding 'digital isolation' that individuals and families sometimes experience in the Internet-Age, it is important for our communities to maintain a sure-fire centralized meeting and gathering spot. I can think of no better place to cement community adhesiveness than our cornerstone churches," states Dr. Thorpe.
