In the wake of the contentious presidential election, we have witnessed in our country and in our community acts of hate and violence directed at vulnerable and marginalized individuals and groups. As faith leaders in Charlottesville, we believe that God calls us to speak out for justice and proclaim a message of hope.
Today, we organized a Call to Prayer, inviting people from our places of worship to walk together from the west end of the Downtown Mall (Omni) to the Pavilion. We have invited many voices to offer prayers there. We want for this community to know that we stand united as people of faith, and that we are devoted to seeking justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with our God.
Below are some pictures. More are posted on our Facebook page.
