It was time to pray, but the preacher was a no-show.
After an awkward pause in Jacksonville's annual homeless memorial last December, Audrey Moran quietly stepped to the podium and led the tiny gathering in prayer.
There were no TV cameras to record the moment, no rich donors to impress. It wasn't even a campaign event.
But it was symbolic of who Moran is, said Ju'Coby Pittman-Peele, president of the Clara White Mission.
"She is the kind of person if something needs to get done, and there's no one there to do it, she'll do it," she said. "She is one who likes to resolve instead of complain about an issue."
