A group of local Christians and Muslims, many of whom served on a panel together five years ago to build interfaith bridges, have joined together to present a unified voice for justice on high-profile, recent deaths of African Americans. That includes George Floyd, who died after being handcuffed and held face-down on pavement under a police officer’s knee for more than eight minutes in Minneapolis, Minnesota on May 25. The Christian-Muslim group penned a joint letter earlier this week via email and Zoom. The note carries the heading “A Call for Social Justice and Peace.”
