Last month, the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks was observed in many places. A familiar face was at one church service in New York:

[Episcopal News Service] Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori asked the congregation gathered Sept. 11 at St. Paul’s Chapel in lower Manhattan, across the street from Ground Zero, to pray for those who perpetrated the violence, those who sought vengeance and for the families and friends of those who died in the terrorist attacks 10 years earlier.
“We will not be healed if we hold hate in our hearts,” Jefferts Schori told media following the service. “Healing comes through the discovery of common bonds.”
About 200 people gathered Sept. 11 at St. Paul’s Chapel for “A Mass for Peace,” kicking off Trinity Wall Street’s daylong observance themed “Remember to Love.”
