Davis sees the Mass as an opportunity to take a broader view of what church can be — and partner with those who are seeking higher meaning in their lives.

The group is being co-chaired by the Rev. DeWayne Davis, who is the lead minister for the Plymouth Congregational Church, and Levy Armstrong, an attorney and civil rights activist who ran against Frey in 2017.

"Everyone is rushing to get back to business as usual," Davis said. "I hope everyone will begin to have some hope for change. People will have deep-real conversations and educate themselves about the issues."
