CRS’s 143rd Annual Membership Assembly (AMA): Love Is … premiered on November 28. We gathered virtually to celebrate love as action, a force that transforms communities, challenges inequity, and affirms our shared humanity. The 2025 AMA was an opportunity to pause, reflect, and engage with the prophetic witness of our keynote, Rev. Julian DeShazier, Senior Pastor at CRS member congregation University Church Chicago, and the timely words of former CRS Executive Director Rev. Dr. Yvonne V. Delk.
