Not Tolerating Intolerance

as featured in the Waterbury Republican-American (1/18/17) More than 200 people filled the pews at St. John’s Episcopal Church Wednesday night for a rally expressing support for Muslims.
 
The event featured Christian, Muslim and Jewish faith leaders calling for a stand against rising intolerance.
 
There was a strong sense of support among the crowd. It strongly applauded a beautifully sung passage from the Koran by 10-year-old Mariam Beshtawii from the Al Heydaya Islamic Center; and a similarly harmonious reading by Rabbi Shaul Marshall Praver from the Newtown Interfaith Clergy.
 
The event was sponsored by The Naugatuck Valley Project and the United Muslim Mosque, Inc.
