The faithful of many faiths gathered last night in Montgomery County to speak words of peace and welcome in Arabic, to chant Buddhist prayers and read Old Testament Psalms. They spoke in many tongues, but all called out to God for the same purpose: relief for the victims of the deadly South Asian tsunami.
Gathering at an interfaith prayer service at the Muslim Community Center in Colesville, worshipers who included representatives of the Hindu, Hebrew, Muslim and Christian traditions sat side by side to hear sacred texts and listen to words of unity and encouragement in the face of catastrophe.
The service drew people of various religions, including the Hindu, Hebrew, Muslim, and Christian faiths. Prayers were offered in several languages for victims of the devastating tsunami in South Asia.
