Rev. Bill Golderer appeared on one of Philadelphia's most respected radio shows to share a perspective on these important issues facing Philadelphia.</p> <p>Listen to the story <a href=http://http://whyy.org/cms/radiotimes/2012/03/22/philadelphias-new-ban-on-feeding-homeless-outdoors/>on WHYY.org</a>.</p> <h1><big>Mayor Nutter's Ban On Feeding Homeless Causes Controversy</big></h1> <p><a href=http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/video/6845866-mayor-nutters-ban-on-feeding-homeless-causes-controversy/>Anne-Marie Green reports on how locals are reacting to Mayor Nutter's ban on feeding the homeless.</a></p> <img style="width: 230px; margin-left: 13px;" src=http://www.newsworks.org/index.php/upload-an-image/image?format=raw&type=img&id=13176> <h1><big>In the News: Our Voice, Our Art, Our Home</big></h1> <p><a href=http://www.newsworks.org/index.php/homepage-feature/item/35364-14pcuarts>Work by formerly homeless artists on display at University of the Arts</a></p> <i><p>He is one of three artists whose work is now featured at the Gershman Y. They all came through the Broad Street Ministry, a non-denominational, Christian church next door to the University of the Arts. The ministry offers a weekly art therapy program, where the mostly homeless clients participate in art projets, both individual and as a group.</p> <p>Since January, several UArts students have been volunteering at those sessions.</p> <p>"We're still students learning from them," said Camille Sassano, a multi-disciplinary junior at UArts. "It's definitely a mutual relationship of conversations and sharing experiences. I feel like that is the more important part of this.
