Anger and dismay are insufficient words to describe how we feel about the vile act of desecrating sacred graves at Mt. Carmel. We not only pray for, and stand with, our brothers and sisters in the Jewish Community, the Episcopal Diocese of Philadelphia will intentionally and authentically work to counter every instance of hate.
This is not who we are as people of goodness, people created in the image of the Divine. We ask that we meet this hatred by encountering one another with compassion, hope and love. We will offer our support, prayers and assistance to the Jewish Federation of Philadelphia. We also pray for those who violated these graves, we pray they find peace in their lives. Let peace begin right here and now.
