Interfaith Voices: Call to Inclusion

About This Collection

 

 

An Interfaith Call to Inclusion brought together the leaders of faith-based organizations in Portland, Oregon post-election, beginning with a rally in Portland's Pioneer Square on November 10th, 2016.  It was a calling together of Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and First Nations faith leaders to continue the work for creating the Beloved Community. Subsequent meetings of this leadership group provided an opportunity to interview some of them on the aftershock of the election and the effects on their communities and social justice work. The Portland Interfaith Clergy Resistance is an outgrowth of the Interfaith Call to Inclusion and remains active (2020).

The Portland Interfaith Clergy Resistance hosted a prayer vigil at Terry Schrunk Plaza on Juneteenth, commemorating emancipation from slavery in Texas on June 19, 1865, and reflecting on George Floyd's murder on May 25, 2020.

This film observes 8 minutes, 46 seconds of silence, symbolizing the fatal time Mr. Floyd was unable to breathe due to Minneapolis police actions that violated department policies. Viewers are encouraged to reflect during this period.

Participating clergy included Rabbi Ariel Stone (PDX Interfaith Clergy Resistance), Rev. Jon Aney (United Church of Christ), Rabbi Debra Kolodny (Portland United Against Hate), Rev. Aric Clark, and Rabbinical Student Davina Bookbinder.
