WASHINGTON: US Vice President Kamala Harris has held a meeting with a group of faith leaders to discuss a number of pressing issues, including hate crime, immigration and Covid-19 vaccination.
Harris said the faith leaders had been a source of strength, comfort and counsel amid the difficult and dark times. You have worshipped with families virtually or in person who have experienced tremendous loss, Harris said in her address on Wednesday.
Four faith leaders attended the event in person, while another five joined virtually. None of the attendees were from minority religions.

Twenty-five clergy members from multiple faith traditions in the D.C. area received the COVID-19 vaccine at the Washington National Cathedral Tuesday. Many hail from communities hardest hit by the pandemic, and received their shots live on camera to help their congregants build trust in the vaccine.
A livestream at 5 p.m. captured the moment the interfaith group, from houses of worship across the District, Montgomery and Prince George’s counties in Maryland, and Arlington County and the City of Alexandria in Virginia, got the vaccine.
