Norwich Religious leaders from nearly a dozen faiths came together online Tuesday evening to pray collectively “to begin the first step to restore inner peace and national harmony” on the eve of Wednesday’s inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden in Washington, D.C.
The online prayer vigil, organized by the Norwich Area Clergy Association with the stated goal to “put an end to the hate that continues to challenge and hurt us,” allowed faith leaders to share their traditions and offer words and prayers for the upcoming four years of the Biden administration.
