That ALL May Worship, a wonderful event held Oct. 10, 2009, celebrated the common call of all faith traditions to offer access, kindness, and opportunity to all persons, regardless of disability.
The readings, poetry, and videos at the multi-faith worship service were moving, and the Verlezza Dance Company and St. Augustine Deaf Choir performed beautifully. Rev. Dr. Val Lassiter's discussion titled "Building Inclusive Communities" was motivational, and the responders shared their stories and their lives with power and grace.
Thanks to all who attended and shared this experience.
