Interfaith prayer vigil on Promenade will call for end to gun violence
Clergy Call for ‘Prayer to be Put into Action’
The Brooklyn Heights Clergy Association will hold a Brooklyn Interfaith Prayer Vigil for an End to Gun Violence on Monday, June 20, in response to the Orlando massacre.
The local interfaith community is invited to participate in this gathering which will express sorrow for, and solidarity with, the LGBTQ, Latino and Muslim communities—all of which have also been recent targets of hate.
“We will be calling for a meaningful and compassionate public policy response: a ban on assault weapons,” wrote Rabbi Seth Wax in an announcement to Congregation Mount Sinai on Thursday, June 16.
