While Stewart Memorial's long-term health appears to be stable, its future depends on being able to attract young people and families who may be drawn to Pentecostal or other denominations. Reverend Horton is working hard to forge relationships with other organizations, such as the Dominican Association of Hamilton, which now holds an annual joint service on Good Fridays with Stewart Memorial. As a result of the Joshua Nelson event of 2004, the Jasper Foundation now offers scholarships to Jewish and Black youth to engage in human rights studies. Reverend Horton was also invited to Israel in the spring of 2005 on a goodwill tour with a group of clergy. These are important spinoffs upon which he is anxious to build. For now, the legacy endures.
