    Wellesley MA (Jan. 16, 2006) Two years after his friend was shot and killed on a Dorchester street, Desmond McPherson stood yesterday inside Wellesley Congregational Church, a microphone in his hand, and the eyes of biotech executives, homemakers, and the mayor of Boston on him. Calls to end bloodshed in Boston came to this suburban church, straight from people whose lives are more regularly rocked by gunfire -- the parishioners of the Charles Street AME Church in Roxbury, who joined them for a Sunday service inspired by the legacy of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
