Only the World’s Religions
Posted by Wallace+
I hope you saw the Reverend Bill Sachs' Faith and Values column on Saturday, "Who Will Heed Call for Unity?" In the words of the United Nations General Assembly last fall,
"In a world of hatred and mistrust, only the world's religions can help."
In his column, Bill references an interfaith group of clergy that have been meeting and making plans for the establishment of a Faith Forum in Richmond, to help bring together people of all faiths and to help deepen understanding and a sense of shared community. That group of clergy met today, as a matter of fact; and we are looking at this fall, with the 10th anniversary of September 11th, as a natural and fitting time to hold the first annual Faith Forum. While we are still in the early stages of planning, I am a strong sense that we're working on something that will be important for the Richmond community. Please join me in praying for God's guidance and blessing as we continue in our planning.
May God lead us, his children; may God help us to love one another; and may God help our community become more fully the community that he would have us be.
