Interfaith Vigil for Peace in Gaza

The suffering unfolding in the Holy Land today is unbearable. As people of many faith traditions, we believe every human life is precious. We abhor all targeting of civilians. We do not believe violence and killing provides safety to anyone. We believe in a God of love and justice that shows a different path for humanity. We also believe that interfaith cooperation is an important part of building a path to peace.

We invite the whole Davis community to gather to remember and pray for the thousands of innocent people, particularly children, who have lost their lives in Israel and Palestine. We call for peace, for a ceasefire, and for the US government to make all possible efforts to pursue a just and lasting peace in the region.
