New York -- [On Sunday, April 6 at 6:00 PM] The Congregation of B'nai Jeshurun, The Interfaith Center of New York, The Jewel heart, The Tibet Fund and The Gere Foundation joined the Buddhist Council of New York, The Temple of Understanding and the New York Open Center at The Church of St. Paul and St. Andrew in Manhattan for an interfaith vigil. "PRAYERS FOR PEACE IN TIBET" will host religious leaders from Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh and Native American faiths as they come together for prayer in honor of those who have died and those who continue to suffer as tensions escalate inside of Tibet. The candlelight vigil featured traditional Tibetan prayer, the reading of eyewitness accounts from Tibet and the presentation of a Joint Statement to the U.N Commission on Religious Freedoms which urges the Commission to request a call to action by the Chinese government.
