2015.8.6. Kevin Palau talks with Sam Adams at Powell's

Thursday, former Portland mayor Sam Adams sat with evangelical priest Kevin Palau at the occasion of speaking about Palau's new book Unlikely at Powell's. A large turn out, a few had to stand. The main theme is City Serve, which grew under the civic leadership of the then mayor Adams, to foster the evangelical community in participating a larger scale of volunteer around city of Portland (300+ schools, Embrace Oregon - a foster care group (who was also present tonight). Adams stressed that there're more common goals between different aspects of the society rather than differences, and we need to encourage and grow the common beliefs.
