Please stop by Christ Church Cathedral, 425 South Second Street in Louisville, any time between 12:10 and 1 pm on Wednesday for a silent, candlelight memorial for victims of the terrible shooting on Sunday at the Sikh house of worship in Wisconsin. This memorial will replace our scheduled Lectio Divina Meditation.

Interfaith Paths to Peace, the Kentucky Sikh Gurudwara, the Kentucky Council of Churches, the Partnership for a Compassionate Louisville, the Jewish Community of Louisville, the Louisville Baha'i Community, The Drepung Gomang (Tibetan Buddhist) Institute, the Hindu Temple of Kentucky, St. William & St. Agnes Catholic Churches, the Merton Institute for Contemplative Living, 10,000 Buddhas Summit Monastery, the Center for Interfaith Relations (Festival of Faiths),  Louisville's Pakistani American Community, and others are sponsoring this event.

Those attending are invited to enter, remain and depart in silence. Please light a candle for the Sikh victims and all victims of religious intolerance and violence.

  

The Sikh center is holding a memorial vigil to the victims at 7 p.m. Friday at 198 Thompson Ave. Attendees will also be praying for the victims at next Sunday's worship beginning at 10:30 a.m., followed by the weekly meal at 1 p.m. All are invited to both events.
