Different Drummers, a regular feature on CBS2 Chicago, has highlighted CROSSWalk, a ministry that strives to decrease youth violence in the city.
CROSSWalk is based at All Saints’ Church in the Ravenswood neighborhood. The interview show, produced by Greater Chicago Broadcast Ministries, defines a different drummer as “a teen who’s not afraid to go against the flow and live out his or her faith in the real world.”
“We give teens of all faiths a voice through video segments created a CBS studios in Chicago and all over the world.”
