Pastors' Bus Tour Stops In Newtown For Fellowship [Video]

A group of pastors stopped in Newtown Wednesday for an "interfaith service of remembrance and prayer" at Newtown Congregational Church with Rev. Matt Crebbin.

Pastors Sam Saylor (featured in video, above), Alvin Herring and Daryl McCorey arrived about 2:00 p.m., meeting with Crebbin and press beforehand.

The Lifelines to Healing bus tour is traveling from Boston to Washington, D.C. and expects to arrive at the Washington National Cathedral Friday to honor the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech. The tour focuses on racial justice and solutions to ending violence in America.

Crebbin said he connected with the PICO National Network, the organization that organized the tour, after he and other Newtown religious leaders signed an open letter supporting solutions to gun violence in March.

"They had been involved with us since then," said Crebbin. "They also had clergy involved on the national mall in D.C. talking about gun violence prevention as a cause for peace."
