Celebrating a Historic Inauguration and Martin Luther King’s Legacy
Monday, January 19, 2009
Joining Silicon Valley Interfaith leaders, ING President, Maha Elgenaidi will co-present a Litany of Hope and Dedication at an Interfaith citizens celebration and dedication on the momentous occasion of the inauguration of President Barack Hussein Obama. The event will also commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who taught non violence and social justice, leading people of all ages and backgrounds to come together to improve lives and fulfill the American Dream. “Many of us feel called to work toward Dr. King’s dream. Let us all live a little of his dream in our lives by trying to live his legacy of promoting change for the greater good in whatever way we can. While many of the civil rights issues he fought long and hard for have been achieved, there are still many challenges before us, and the first hurdle is overcoming our own inner prejudices towards those who are different than ourselves. The dream he had of an America for all people, regardless of race or religion is a dream that all of us should work towards,” commented Maha Elgenaidi. Read More
Silcon Valley Interfaith Leaders Endorse Declaration for Peace on M.E. Crisis
Even on the toughest issues, Silicon Valley interfaith & mainstream religious leaders find common ground! AN INTERFAITH DECLARATION FOR PEACE We members and leaders of the Silicon Valley interfaith community are anguished by the events that have unfolded in Israel and Gaza. While some of us—guided by faith and conscience—may in other venues express stronger statements of sympathy either for Israel or Gaza, we share a commitment to engage with one another, even, and especially, during times of great stress. We also affirm our common humanity and our common belief that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must cease, that there is no violent solution to that conflict, that all human life is valued, and that all parties must cooperate to achieve a just and lasting peace on behalf of God’s children who reside in the land we call holy.
