Sri Lanka Easter Sunday, now Poway California
Our deepest condolences are again extended to the congregations of the Christian Churches, families, and communities of the victims of the terrorist bombings on Easter Sunday in Sri Lanka. We are heartbroken over the senseless loss of hundreds of lives.Last Saturday, during the Sabbath service at Chabad of Poway Synagogue, a gunman opened fire killing one person and injuring others as they prayed, terrorising the congregation.
In the words of Rabbi Yisroel:
"Every religious group feels vulnerable right now as the violence feels unpredictable and chaotic. We can disagree about all sorts of important things, but surely every person ought to agree that no one should be gunned down in worship."The mission of The Interfaith Centre of Melbourne is to build bridges of understanding and respect between peoples of all religious traditions, and people of no religious tradition.
We dedicate our work along with many thousands of interfaith groups around the world to spread light where there is darkness and love where there is hate.
