Dear Brothers:
Calling for Peace in Syria
The "Friends Committee on National Legislation," with the support of the Conference of Major Superiors of Men (we're active members), led a coalition of 41 faith leaders of national Christian, Jewish, and Muslim organizations calling on Congress to oppose the proposed authorization for the use of military force in Syria. The signers also include leaders from Catholic, Evangelical, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist, Adventist, and Baptist traditions, in addition to leaders from the historic peace church traditions of the Quakers, Mennonites, and Church of the Brethren. Fr. Marty signed the letter, which has made national news, including on CNN.
