AIDS Memorial Quilt and Service

Saturday night, I had the opportunity to participate in an interfaith memorial service at COMPASS Community Center. It was a moving experience. There were about 8 or 9 faith communities involved. It was also eye- and heart-opening to see the actual portion of the quilt that is currently installed at the center. The panels, representing the lives of those who have been lost to the virus, ooze sacredness.
