PARSIPPANY — In response to the horrific attack on innocent worshipers at the Al Noor Mosque and Linwood Islamic Center in Christchurch, New Zealand last week, we, a group of clergy and faith leaders of Parsippany houses of worship have come together to stand in solidarity with the victims of terrorism and to affirm the right of all people to live and to worship in freedom. We renew our determination to nurture Parsippany as a community that celebrates the individuality and diversity of all who live here. We reject all bigotry, prejudice and intolerance and in love invite all members and leaders of houses of worship to come together in solidarity, peace and compassion.
