Faith Leaders Express Common Commitment to Assistance in Haiti

Over 40 senior faith leaders from communities and organizations throughout metropolitan Washington, D.C. gathered at Washington National Cathedral to explore avenues of collaboration between local faith communities against global poverty. Although the meeting had been scheduled for weeks, the magnitude 7.0 earthquake in Haiti, which happened less than 24 hours earlier, quickly took center stage.  The faith leaders expressed their common commitment to and expression of solidarity with the victims of the January 12 earthquake.  The group will continue to work together to craft an interfaith response to the earthquake and build an interfaith network in Washington DC to combat global poverty.
