[Description] Congregations and their leaders have deep community roots and serve as regular gathering places for congregants. Local faith leaders are often trusted community figures and can sometimes influence national policies. [Potential roles] Local religious leaders can be effective change agents, mobilizing congregations by influencing attitudes and behaviors and inspiring action, and engaging in advocacy. Congregational members can be mobilized locally or across borders to donate, volunteer, advocate, or monitor their communities. Houses of worship can serve as the infrastructure for gathering people or as a distribution channel. [Actor]
