Ten years ago the September 11 attacks changed our world.  From the devastation, healing and hope emerge.  From interfaith dialogue grows peace, hope and respect.  People of all ages, cultures, and spiritual traditions – all are welcome as we observe the 10th anniversary of 9/11.  Together we will remember, reflect, and open our hearts to the possibility of peace.
