Brockton Restoration Community Church launches social justice ministry

BROCKTON — "Beware of the woke church" was the warning Pastor Manny Daphnis remembers from a congregant of a different church, as he recalled the beginning of the Restoration Community Action Ministry. The idea of his church being lumped in with other justice movements and bringing in people with different agendas may have bothered that churchgoer , but not Daphnis. In a city with a public school system experiencing a widening achievement gap, a homeless population hit hard by COVID and a global pandemic that has taken the lives of residents young and old, there are "agents of restoration," as Daphnis, lead pastor at Restoration Community Church, describes them, trying to make a difference.

BROCKTON — On June 2, 2020, Barbatt Jocelyn scrolled through his Twitter feed to find Brockton was trending worldwide. Upon a closer look, a protest was taking place outside of the Brockton police station.

The Enterprise, which had photographers and reporters on the ground on June 2, reported that a calm, optimistic mood prevailed at a city-supported rally that afternoon at West Middle School. But tensions escalated in the evening at a separate event, when protesters gathered outside police headquarters, culminating in a violent confrontation, with bottles and other objects being thrown at police and police deploying tear gas and flash-bang grenades, followed by vandalism in the downtown area.

Brockton activists decry double standard in treatment of pro-Trump mob

"It's totally ridiculous," says Phyllis Ellis, president of the Brockton Area Branch NAACP. "It was overwhelming. An immediate shock," says Robert Connolly, lead pastor of Rezarec Church in Brockton.

What appeared to be a last stand for supporters of President Donald Trump due to Congress' confirming President-elect Joe Biden won the 2020 Presidential Election provided a surreal reality for many about the state of the country. "I wasn't actually as shocked as other people were," says Will Dickerson, executive director of Brockton Interfaith Community.
