Fears, prayers and pledges at Morristown service

[Morristown Green] In other eras, Americans have united to combat external threats: The British, the Axis powers, the Soviets.

But in an extraordinary spectacle on Tuesday, they gathered in Morristown to share fears about their own government.

“The next four years of a Trump presidency will be very purposeful for us. In some ways, what has changed is that now we can see more clearly not only how far we have come to advance justice, but how far we still have to go,” Unitarian minister Alison Miller told about 300 people at the Episcopal Church of the Redeemer.

Standing on the Side of Love: Thanksgiving Against Fear, a bi-lingual interfaith service, was organized by the Morris Area Clergy Council.
