What a wonderful experience we had Friday evening, Aug. 10, 2012, in front of Fresno City Hall.

Hundreds from all over the Central Valley representing all colors and Faith Traditions were one community. We were peacefully united in grieving the loss of innocent Sikh lives and praying for the injured and all the families and communities suffering because of ignorance and bigotry.

We praise the Almighty One for all who are seeking to build bridges based upon so much common ground we all share. Our prayers will continue to be that love and tolerance will overcome the darkness of hate and ignorance.

Sikh Temple Shooting

We at, "Abraham's Children" Ministries, are deeply sadden by the tragedy that befell the Sikh Community in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. We express our deepest sorrow for the desecration of their Temple, the killing of twelve innocent souls, and all the injuries resulting from this abominable act.

We ask the Almighty God, whom we all worship, albeit in different ways, to give His comfort and consolation to all those affected by this unconscionable act and for speedy and total recovery of all injuries, physical, spiritual and emotional.

May God fill us all with His love, compassion and tolerance. May He grant those who are hurting His gift of forgiveness so that they may attain inner peace and comfort.

May all Glory and Praise be His forever. Amen.
