Dear Friends,
There has been a growing cry for a community gathering about the Gaza crisis that calls for an end to the violence while expressing our anguish for both the Israeli and Palestinian peoples.
Boston-area Muslim, Christian, and Jewish leaders have jointly written a statement calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and expressing our desire to demonstrate that during these most difficult of times we are prepared to stretch our hands out to each other. The statement with initial signatures can be found at the URL below.
Join us for a silent INTERFAITH VIGIL to make the declaration public and stand shoulder to shoulder with members of Boston’s Muslim, Jewish, and Christian communities. Signs (drawn from the statement) will be provided. No other signs please.
INTERFAITH VIGIL
Tuesday, January 13
5:30-6:30pm
Park Street Station, downtown Boston
To sign the petition go to: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/interfaithdeclarationforpeace/
This effort is being organized by a wide range of activists from each faith group. Boston Workmen’s Circle has offered to serve as the contact for logistics. For up to date information go to www.circleboston.org; for questions email info@circleboston.org.
