We have spent the day talking and listening and learning. The day ends with a shared worship with 6 different faith communities. Praying for Peace and Understanding.
EVENING: Tonight we gathered for an interreligious worship service for understanding and peace. Faith Leaders from Buddhist, Sikh, Jewish, Muslim, Quaker, Baha'i, and Christian. Below are quotes and images from the service. "I intend to (have peace) in my heart tomorrow." - Babs Williams, Quaker | "When we reach out to each other we learn that we have so much from each other..." "I think we need to be planting compassion... peace..." -Rev Valerie Hayes |
"I envision all people coming together in unity...Tonight, all of us said 'yes' for understanding...for peace..." - Rev. Russell Heiland
Day #3

"And what does the Lord require of you, but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" Micah 6:8

A photograph from the road. Members and friends from UCC congregations from around the state (including 3 from the McFarland UCC). On our way home from the Women's March on Washington! We took time this morning to reflect on the global solidarity and radical hospitality we experienced on the trip.
