Do you think the world needs more compassion?  What does compassion mean to you – and what would it mean to have more of it in your community? In your life? 

These questions will be explored by Pastor Fernandez Sims, better known as Brother Sims, at the first meeting of the ‘Path to Compassion’ Speaker Series hosted by The Alabama Charter for Compassion (ACFC), a Partner of the Charter for Compassion International. Brother Sims, a former Birmingham mayoral candidate, is pastor at Charis Community Church and works at Impact Family Counseling, a counseling center for at-risk youth and their families, in community care outreach and in family court. The monthly Speaker Series will feature a mix of local individuals who will share their perspectives on these questions. Join us in our quest to better understand compassion and the path to having more compassion in our lives.
