Newark City of Destiny

The Newark City of Destiny conference is a marketplace ministry initiative and symposium. It is the vision of and presented by the Caring Network Volunteer Services, in honor of late author and professor Dr. Lloyd A. Turner. He is the author of the book Newark City of Destiny, published in 2016, in recognition of the 350th anniversary of Newark’s founding to promote the spiritual legacy, altruistic heritage and the divine destiny and purpose of the City of Newark, NJ.

The Symposium’s goal is to recognize what makes Newark a model and a great American City or as the founders stated, “a city on a hill”. The Symposium is designed to support residents, faith and civic leaders of the Greater Newark area in affirming Newark’s course. Newark will continue to pursue and accomplish excellence in fundamental service areas that build opportunity, provide for the poor, bring freedom for the prisoners, promote health and wellness, release for the oppressed, and support direction and equality of opportunity for all. The Symposium will promote understanding for the important role and benefit of faith, virtue and principles applied individually and culturally, in our homes, neighborhoods and marketplace, and to build on the Newark’s great heritage of innovation and accomplishments, positioned to serve the local, regional, national and global best interest.
