INTERFAITH SERVICE IN COPLEY SQUARE
"From Remembrance to Hope: 9/11 Ten Years After"

Community Church of Boston will join the other faith communities of Boston's
Back Bay neighborhood, as we gather to mark the Tenth Anniversary of
9/11/2001 with a special Interfaith Worship Service in Copley Square on
Sunday, September 11, 2011, at 11:00 a.m. This Service, whose theme will be
"From Remembrance to Hope", will represent an unprecedented coming together
of our diverse religious traditions - Jewish, Unitarian Universalist,
Christian and Islamic - for shared worship that will take the place of each
congregation's regularly scheduled worship on that day. This will be a time
to come together and share an inclusive liturgy that will reflect our
different traditions as we together proclaim our common life and ideals as
people of faith - both in solemn memorial and in affirmation of the hope for
universal reconciliation, peace and justice embraced by all of our religious
teachings.

This Service, under the auspices of the Back Bay Clergy Association, will
feature music by the combined choirs of the participating congregations, and
will include opportunities for participation by children. In case of
inclement weather, the Service will be held in Trinity Church. Join us for
lunch at 12:15pm at the Community Church!
