4th Annual 9/11 Unity Walk  | August 14, 2008

Faith Leaders Inspire Gandhi-Style Walk

In a powerful statement reminiscent of Gandhi's Walks, every church, synagogue, mosque and temple on Embassy Row opens their doors to each other and symbolically the world. People of all faiths will come together on September 14th for the 4th Annual 9/11 Unity Walk, the signature event in Washington, DC for building bridges between faiths.

Striking scenes broadcast worldwide on BBC, CNN and Al Jazeera include gospel singing and a Muslim call to prayer at Washington's largest synagogue and a Christian evangelical preaching and Jewish cantors singing from the Islamic Center!

Chaired by Rev Mpho Tutu, leaders of all major faiths including Christian evangelicals, rabbis, imams and gurus tell us not to compromise our own faith, but challenge us to understand our neighbors.

In a city known for power, the simple act of people coming together with no signs, banners or an agenda - like Gandhi's walks - makes the most powerful statement. The Unity Walk moves us towards a world where we are united rather than divided by our many faiths. Come be moved by the Unity Walk!!
