Jay Bergen, the pastor of the Germantown Mennonite Church, led chants and songs of unity during Thursday’s protest in Philadelphia.
“As a Christian, as a person of faith and conscience, I stand opposed to any injustice anytime that violence is used, any violence used to oppress people to tear us apart,” Bergen said. “I’m here because my heart is breaking.
