All sounds well and good, but a look at the overview section indicates nothing but proselytizing. In fact, the entire website appears just to offer ways to convert people.

Also, this is clearly not interfaith. This almost exclusively evangelical Christianity. I refer you to the "participating churches" section.
My issue is not with Christianity - I am a Christian, a Roman Catholic. This appears to be nothing more than an effort to convert people to evangelical Christianity, in a thinly-veiled guise of helping the city/region/people/whatever. Sorry, too inquisition-like for me. I would not want a someone trying to convert me to their religion or non-religion. I find solace in my belief system, and respect the beliefs of others that are different than mine.
Also, once again, I don't really get it from a practical sense. The city and the region is overwhelmingly Christian. As for the places that are not overwhelmingly Christian, such as Dearborn or Hamtramck, I think they are perfectly fine people as well. They have never done anything to me. So are we trying to be more Christian? Have less non-Christians? My best neighbor is non-religious, and my girlfriend is Jewish. I like them both the way they are.
In my opinion the best thing that could have come from that rally, march, whatever, is that those people probably got hungry and patronized local businesses. Now that kind of thing helps the city.
