Violent images of Baltimore protesters looting stores and destroying property flooded television screens across the nation on Monday. They were reacting to the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black man who suffered a spinal injury while in police custody.

But at the same time, faith leaders in the city were working hard to bring peace to the streets of their beloved city.
