JANUARY 6, 2021 ATTACK ON THE UNITED STATES CAPITOL"
January 6, 2022
Earlier today, the San Francisco Interfaith Council (SFIC) hosted the 68th in a series of COVID-19 response briefings for faith leaders. Today's briefing featured a presentation by United States Department of Justice (DOJ) Community Relations Service (CRS) Special Assistant for AANHPI Issues with the San Francisco Field Office Justin Lock. Mr. Lock addressed the instrumental role played by the CRS in facilitating dialogue with faith based leadership and the ways that communities of faith can be prepared to respond to incidents through interfaith awareness and exchange, holistic preparedness, and ministering to heal division and trauma. He also highlighted the pivotal position of faith leadership in not only responding to, but inoculating against racial hate and bias.
Also participating were Zoom Briefing Moderator/SFIC Executive Director Michael Pappas, San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, Founder and Artistic Director of the Cole Porter Society, Noah Griffin, accompanied by pianist Ross Gualco, who performed "This is My Song" (to the melody of Finlandia, lyrics by Lloyd Stone). Special appreciation is extended to SFIC Program/Administrative Associate Cynthia Zamboukos and Enceladus Event Production and ConsultingPrincipal Tre Russell Allen.
