The Nation is Watching NC and Moral Mondays

Aleta Payne, Former Deputy Executive Director · July 12, 2013 · Leave a Comment

The impact of Moral Mondays continues to extend beyond North Carolina. Two recent articles and an editorial in “The New York Times” are reaching a national audience. One of the articles is by Peter Carman, pastor of Binkley Baptist Church, a Council member congregation.

Alliance of Baptists: ‘Not One Step Back’: Moral Mondays in Raleigh, N.C.

Sojourners: Moral Mondays

The New York Times: The Decline of North Carolina

Moral Mondays are scheduled to continue on July 15.

About Aleta Payne, Former Deputy Executive Director

She continues to oversee that work along with development, represents the Council in several partnership efforts, and serves in other administrative roles, as well. Aleta is a graduate of the University of Virginia with a degree in government and foreign affairs and spent much of her early career as a journalist. She has three young adult sons who continue to come home to Cary for dinner, or at least groceries, and two young adult terrier-mix dogs who keep the nest from feeling too empty.
