Who We Are
We are "The
9/11 Keeping Faith, Keeping Freedom Committee”
of San
Antonio, Texas
We are civic and religious
leaders coming together to:
- Honor the memory of the victims of
9/11
- Strengthen
America’s faith in a God of love,
justice and mercy
- Sanctify
life
- Celebrate the freedom that makes this nation great
- Honor the memory of all members of the US military who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the conflicts since 9/11
Our Committee
invites
all religious leaders from all
faiths to join us by holding special services the weekend before 9/11, on Saturday 9/11, or the
weekend after 9/11 at their places of worship. We have
prepared a couple of suggested Interfaith/Ecumenical services for
use by all who wish to join in this commemoration. These suggested services may be amended to better reflect the individual faith tradition or liturgical expression. For the last three years, more than two hundred (200) institutions participated, among them many individual churches,
synagogues, colleges and schools.
Suggested Interfaith/Ecumenical Service includes responsive
readings and the reading aloud of names of victims of 9/11.
Our committe has prepared lists of victims of 9/11 and
strongly encourages participant institutions to read 30 names at their
service. To order a list of victims of 9/11 please send an email to: info@911keepingfaithkeepingfreedom.org
