Faith leaders, mental health providers and legal community leaders gathered online this week for the 2020 Tennessee Faith and Justice Summit. Participants considered the ways faith and justice intersect and learned about free legal resources available to better serve Tennesseans in need. Knoxville attorney and Access to Justice Commission Chair Bill Coley commended the “dedication, energy and creativity” of the individuals and organizations focused on “practical solutions geared at helping the faith and legal communities join together to help people in need.” Joining Coley in presenting were Tennessee Supreme Court Justice Cornelia Clark and Administrative Office of the Courts Director Deborah Taylor Tate, among others. The event, held in conjunction with #Help4TNDay, was co-sponsored by the Beecken Center of the School of Theology at the University of the South, the University’s Office of Civic Engagement, and the Supreme Court’s ATJ Commission’s Faith and Justice Alliance.
