Religious communities unite to pray and mourn after bridge collapse
Newsy
Not far from where a bridge collapsed Tuesday in Baltimore, rabbis, pastors and imams joined as one to mourn and to pray for those who were missing.
This was more than just the power of prayer: What was happening inside the Mount Olive Baptist Church was the creation of solace through symbolism.
Less than 500 feet from where the Key Bridge collapsed in Baltimore on Tuesday, rabbis, pastors and imams joined as one to rejoice, to mourn and to pray for those who were missing.
Some, like Father Ako Walker, pastor at the Sacred Heart of Jesus, had intimate contact with the families most directly affected.
"You know, you can see the pain etched on their faces. You know, there's a lot of tears and so on,” said Walker.
Others, like congregant Discil Lynn, didn't have a direct connection — but they were here anyway due to something bigger.
