Yesterday, May 11, there was an interfaith vigil commemorating the Postville, IA immigration raids at a local kosher meatpacking plant a year ago on May 12, 2008. Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, and Jewish leaders and congregant came together to remember this event that so affected their community -- an excellent piece of evidence of different faiths coming together to actively engage in community affairs toward social change.
Amie Steffen of the Waterloo Courier has the story at Faith in Public Life.
