Publisher's Summary

These live recordings of profound and inspiring sermons, delivered in many congregations immediately after September 11, 2001, challenge listeners to learn and understand with their heads and their hearts, and provide an enduring testament to the power of religious freedom in action.

These 11 clergy, representing an interfaith range of beliefs, share the pain with their congregations in this crucible of crisis. From East Coast to West, from conservative to liberal, and including Christian, Jewish and Muslim perspectives, these inspired words are heartfelt and healing.

Clergy represented include the Reverends Forrest Church (All Souls Unitarian Church, NYC); Doretta Clark (Mystic Congregational Church, Mystic, CT); Paul Gonyea (Atlanta Church of Religious Science); William L. "Scotty" McLennan, Jr. (Dean for Religious Life, Stanford University); Dr. R. Scott Colglazier (University Christian Church, Fort Worth, TX); Robert Lee Hill (Community Christian Church, Kansas City, MO); Dr. Arthur Caliandro (Marble Collegiate Church, NYC); John M. Buchanan (Fourth Presbyterian Church, Chicago, IL); and Dr. Alvin O. Jackson (National City Christian Church, Washington DC); as well as Rabbi Harold S. Kushner (Temple Israel, Natick, MA) and Imam Al-Hajj Talib 'Abdur-Rashid (Mosque of Islamic Brotherhood, Harlem).
