Faith in the Public Square
Local religious reaction to Capitol riot By Walter Ayres on January 9, 2021 at 5:34 PM
On Thursday, I posted some reactions to the Capitol riot from religious leaders around the nation. Today I will share portions of some statements from faith leaders closer to home.
Bishop Edward B. Scharfenberger of the Diocese of Albany prayed for peace and for the healing of our divided nation in the wake of the breach of the U.S. Capitol
We will always have differences of opinions, but chaos and violence can never provide solutions. We will continue to pray for the healing of divisions in our nation and for the peaceful transfer of power on Jan. 20. We join together with the Prince of Peace, who overcomes the sin and evil of the world by pouring out his life in love for everyone, not by the sword of conquest and fear.
Plan Ahead: Events coming up in the Capital Region
