In the group photo, Rev. Jodi Cohen Hayashida, left, leads a prayer at the Interfaith Celebration for Marriage Equality which took place Oct. 28 at the First Universalist Church of Auburn. She was joined by, from left, Rev. Richard Beal, Unitarian Universalist; Rev. Rita Moran of the Pagan Community; Rabbi Hillel Katzir, Temple Shalom Synagogue; Rev. Robert Wolf; Daphne Clement, Durham Quaker Community; Rev. Casey Collins, Calvary Methodist Church; and Emily Wright-Magoon, Bates College multifaith chaplain. Wright-Magoon led a “simple act of commitment,” a ritual where more than 75 attendees wove flowers into a dreamcatcher web, shown below. The act symbolized a communal commitment to the LGBTQ community to work for equality. It was also a broader reminder that, as Martin Luther King once said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
