EDMOND Students and leaders of different faith traditions came together for a recent worship service for high school seniors.
Several faith leaders coordinated an interfaith baccalaureate for Edmond area schools that included readings and music from the Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Baha i faith traditions.
The event was May 16 at St. Luke s United Methodist Church-Edmond, 900 N Sooner Road.
A baccalaureate is a worship service typically offered for a school s graduating class and their families and friends. The religious event is generally held a few days before high school commencement.
The Rev. Josh Attaway, campus pastor for St. Luke s- Edmond, said hosting the event was in line with St. Luke s mission to bring people together.

A local preacher tapped his foot to the beat of contemporary Christian music that blared from a loud speaker outside CoreCivic s Oklahoma Reentry Opportunity Center. We know we were made for so much more joy unspeakable, love unthinkable. There s so much more than this ordinary life, the Rev. Lynn Turner sang along with the melody.
Nearby, several women closed their eyes and raised their hands to the sky in worship, while other women sang and swayed to the music.
Turner and his church members were separated from the female inmates by the physical barrier of a chain-link fence surrounding the private community correctional facility.
