Praying for Peace
On August 17, The Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd hosted “Summerville Stands in Unity,” a vigil for Heather Heyer, for the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, and for the terrorist attack in Barcelona. Organized by students in the congregation, the service included prayers and music. A bake sale and free-will donations raised about $1,500, which was donated to the Charleston NAACP and the Jewish Federation of Charleston.
A local TV report on the vigil is here, and the Summerville Journal-Scene also published an article about it.
