I am still trying to find a video of the memorial service for the victims at Sandy Hook Elementary School. I've only found a couple short clips and, of course, many of the President speaking there.
I am trying to find out which religions were represented there. I know of Jewish, Christian and Muslim, but were there others? I have been trying to be respectful of the victims' religions when I pray. Not all of them were Christian. I know one of the boys was Jewish.
I would like to honor the victims by learning more about which verses from Holy Books are used in various religions during their funerals. I realize I know too little about how various religions honor the dead.
Isn't one of the bani recited for the dead in Sikhism? If so, could we all commit to reciting it together in memory of all the children and adults who lost their lives?
Did any Sikhs speak at the interfaith memorial service?
