We Are Orlando: Vigil and Community Gathering

As representatives of Atlanta’s interfaith community, we offer our prayers to all of the individuals affected by this past weekend’s terrible shooting in Orlando and the LGBTQ community. We grieve with the families and loved ones of those who perished and we offer hope for complete recovery of the injured. Sunday marked the most deadly shooting in American history, and we stand with the community of Orlando in solidarity today and for the coming days as Americans and more importantly human beings. Join us on Tuesday June 14 at 7 PM at the Center for Civil and Human Rights in Downtown for the We Are Orlando: Vigil and Community Gathering to remember the victims of the Orlando massacre and come together as a community.

This statement is issued by the following
organizations: Interfaith Community Initiatives and #WorldPilgrims, the Faith Alliance of Metro Atlanta and the Neshama Interfaith Center.

Especially for youth ministers and leaders: The Regional Council of Churches is partnering with the Georgia Dept. of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities in SHARE HOPE. Suicide is a leading cause of death in young people. What is the role of the faith community in ministering to troubled young people? Share Hope is an interfaith social media contest to promote the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Because we know that just pausing before acting often stops a suicide attempt, 988 is one important tool in fostering a healthy community. Have a look www.988ga.org/faith. This activity could be a great way to start off the school year with your creative youth group. And, your group could win a $250 Pizza Party--there will be ten winners.
