2. Taking Back Our Neighborhoods: SeniorBSafe Jan 13 2010
MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - It's not hard to find the city's rough spots.
The Hyde Park community in North Memphis struggles with the type of
decline, that breeds poverty and crime.
"The people here don't seem to have the wherewithal to fight against
that," said the Rev. Melvin Lee of Macedonia Missionary Baptist
Church.
Lee has led Macedonia Missionary Baptist for nearly a quarter of a
century. He says some seniors in the congregation are intimidated by
criminals that threaten their neighborhoods."If you were a person who
were not able to keep yourself safe, you would probably have a sense
of doing absolutely nothing," he said.Not anymore. Recently, Memphis
CrimeStoppers Director Buddy Chapman launched a new hotline,
SeniorBSafe, which allows senior citizens to make anonymous tips about
problems in their neighborhood.

3. Black women hear call to ministry Dec 12 1998
Rev. Melvin Lee, a member of the ministerial association and pastor of
Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church-Hyde Park, said he believes it's
time for black women to be accepted as ministers.
"The Bible said, 'Whosoever will, let him come.' We don't restrict
that to say that only men can be saved," Lee said. "How can we testify
that God can do anything, and then say God can't call women to
preach?'

"As an organization of pastors, our first lesson is abstinence, to do
it the way God said it is to be done in his word," said Lee, also
pastor of Macedonia Baptist Church-Hyde Park. "That we come together
to express our sexuality in marriage, as God intended it to be. But we
are not naive, we know that some young people are going to want to try
things, and so we provide the education to help them," he said. "If
they come to us and say, 'Well, I'm sexually active, how can I keep
myself from having HIV/AIDS,' then we have that conversation with
them."
