Ballroom East SUMMARY:Public Affairs Conference - Faith-based communities: Unifying or d ivisive? DESCRIPTION:Panel Session\n\n\nA united community is a community willing t o support both diversity and individual success. A willingness to pursue unity can facilitate a supportive environment for both groups and individ uals alike.
