Our shared faith values inspire us to be peacemakers and to live by faith, not fear.
We are calling for peace and condemning the violence that is being inflicted and incited by our president on our border, in our country, and across the world. President Trump’s latest decision to recklessly assassinate the military commander of Iran’s Quds Force will cause more violence and bloodshed in a region already facing endless wars. Congress must stop the escalation of war with Iran.
All vigils will be held on Monday, January 6th, at 6pm (all time zones).
As people of faith, we are called to be peace and bring peace. We have this vocation when President Trump incites violence against immigrants and religious minorities at home and when he threatens war overseas. We cannot give into fear, but must embrace peace and reject violence.
Here is a current list of planned vigils:
- Washington, DC (The White House)
- New Haven, CT (Wooster Square)
- New York, NY (Middle Collegiate Church)
