To almost 12-year-old, gradually began expansion of cities, many of the old alley old building plans to be removed, the residents moved to the edge of the city and new residential areas, urban centres on both sides of the road to stay out of commercial use. Big yard and the roads are in the planning, Jiuzhai removed, the road widening. Sidewalks on both sides of the Indus all Beikan-old, large trees Yi Keke sawing down, towed away. This can double the size of the road.
Now there is a wide flat cars to trucks to the cement road, a small roadside tree species. The summer sun exposure. From high-rise buildings standing on both sides, in addition to traffic strike, very few people walking on the sidewalk. It is no longer a narrow Shuying thick asphalt road, the ancient stout Faguowutong, sparrows, insects, courtyards, flowers, parked in drying racks on the dragonflies, hot soy milk Puzi, intensive bustling crowd, were washed away in the dry Clean net. No one is left of the old photo negatives, I just enough time to look at, it will lose on all the clues. Can only use memory to recall it.
A history of the Tang Dynasty was a small town, as one of the world have experienced many elderly people, own a dignified and solemn, 100 to 1,000 packs of temperament. Age Jianchang leave home, I know it seems gradually. When I can understand it when it had it not old. The moss Youyou, water Chan Chan, its white brick Heiwa, camphor wood aroma, and its Zhaizhang stone alley, dark courtyard, it's all things inadvertently, human feelings. Even an ancient city, people will still manoeuvrable its forms. Quickly overthrown, lightly destroyed, clumsy reconstruction, poor and old.
People living in the history of foam Paper on breathing, home, leaving behind buildings, civilization and our way of life, inner conviction, have been gradually from the dim yellow pages of paper erased, discarded. As the large group of ants to build nests, the greater will be up against all the animals. Create an artificial construction, and all, all these, the end can not hold and live a long time.
New cities. The disappearance of the old city. Some people remember the old look like it, some people still remember a little bit, some people will not know. They were cut off and the city's history, the relationship between it and cut off the elegance and conviction of the association. As if they are orphans, not nutrients, live in a new re-start the city's history. It is rich, clean, decent, just and past broken links. Including its traditional and spiritual support, the relationship between clean break, there is no nostalgia in the gross. Pushed all, reform all, as if everything can start again. Start decisive.
Everything is new. Has nothing to do with the past. They built on a desert. The new face of the new people in the world, only flourish ambition, no Feng Yue mood.

The time has come for us to stop talking about the problems in our neighborhoods and start acting. This year’s conference is inspired by the community activists and youth leaders who work hard to make our neighborhoods places of opportunities where people excel, ideas grow and dreams are realized. By bringing together young people ages 14-21 and adults from around the region, we will begin to create real solutions to the many challenges in our communities. Workshops and interactive sessions will empower youth to effectively address the challenges they face everyday and enhance adults’ capacity to nurture the potential of every youth. We invite everyone, both youth and adults, interested in making a positive and lasting impact in their community to “Step Up!” and “Be the Change”.

**This year’s conference will feature an exciting keynote speech by Ephren W. Taylor, CEO of City Capital Corporation and the youngest African-American CEO of a publicly traded company ever!**

*The conference will also feature a lunchtime comedy performance by Philadelphia’s own Keith from Up Da Block!*

What Do You Do After You Pray:
The Church's Response to Gun-Violence in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, PA – With more than 250 murders after the first half of 2007, the city once known as the City of Brotherly Love has instead quickly become known as Kill-a-delphia, forcing many residents to live and operate in fear as a result of the gun-violence inflicting the city.

On Saturday, August 25, 2007, Philly Koinonia Ministries (pronounced koy-no-NEE-yah) will organize its initial effort dealing with this problem, the "2007 Gun-drive and City Fellowship". This will be an outdoor effort beginning at 10 a.m. taking place at the Dorothy Emmanuel Recreation Center, located in the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia. To effectuate a change in our culture, we must not solely rely on the power of prayer, but also take responsibility with our actions to address the stronghold embattling our city; for our actions speak louder than our words. The organization identifies fear as the stronghold that simultaneously creates gun-violence, and results from gun-violence, and therefore will focus using this effort to present an understanding of God’s love to combat the stronghold of fear dwelling in this city as a result of gun violence; for God is love (1John 4:16) and in love there is no fear (1John 4:18).

In addition to the gun-drive (individuals will receive a gift card in exchange for their gun), this effort will also include an appearance by Mayoral Candidate Michael Nutter; messages given by local Pastors, such as: Bishop Keith W. Reed, Pastor Kevin M. Aiken, Pastor Chandra I. Williams, Pastor Daniel Sutton, Pastor Larry Anderson, Pastor Eric Mason, among others; performances by local choirs and other guest artists; and also a nonprofit/vendor area featuring more than 30 tables of advocates, businesses, and non-profit organizations that offer programs and services related to the focus of this effort.
