In the midst of difficult times, Multifaith Voices for Peace and Justice will host “Peaceful Presence,” a monthly prayer service on the evening of the 11th of each month, offering a time of quiet multi-faith prayers for peace and strength for the journey. All are welcome: those of all faith traditions and of no defined faith, those who are suffering at the hands of their own government, those who need a pause in the midst of intensive work on behalf of others, and all who would like to pray with others for the well-being of all. The prayer time will include elements from several religious traditions.
Local faith leaders from Buddhist, Muslim, Christian and Jewish traditions will speak to our theme Moving Our Nation Toward Justice and Healing.
Speakers:
- Rabbi Jon Prosnit, Associate Rabbi, Congregation Beth Am, Los Altos Hills
- Rev. Dean Koyama, Minister, Palo Alto Buddhist Temple
- Dr. Mohammad Nadeem, President, Muslim Community Association of the Bay Area
- Rev. Dr. Debra Murray, Senior Pastor, First United Methodist Church of Palo Alto
