The decision to begin hosting what he hopes will be an annual prayer breakfast was an easy one for Jacksonville Mayor Alvin Brown: "Many of our leaders attend houses of worship. Many people in community look to the faith-based community for help in a lot of areas."
Other mayors have attended interfaith gatherings, but Brown said it's important for him to host what City Hall is calling Inaugural Mayor Brown Interfaith Celebration.
"I know I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for my faith in God," he said. "I'm blessed, I'm humbled and honored."
That breakfast, scheduled for 7:30 a.m. Friday, already has sold out, the administration said. Some 500 tickets sold at $25 each, which will cover the city's cost.
