the faith in difficult times
DC 37s Caribbean Heritage Committee
held its 6th Annual Interfaith Service April 30 at the union. The theme of the
evening was Exercising Ones Faith in Difficult Times.
In
these difficult times, especially for our members, now is the time to strengthen
our faith, not to abandon it, said Committee Chair and Local 420 President
Carmen Charles, opening the evening with the call to worship.
Co-chair
Ray Mendez, a member of Local 1219, started the program with the musical selection
I Believe. Sermons were delivered by Hindu Pandit Benimadho Misir,
Muslim Imam Abdur Farrkhan of the Masjid Al-Jahmian in Brooklyn and Bishop Cecil

We should all be thankful
for the blessing our speakers have delivered to us tonight, said Committee
Co-chair Dennis Ifill, the president of Local 1359.
