THE REV. JODI COHEN HAYASHIDA, left, leads a prayer at the Interfaith Celebration for Marriage Equality on Oct. 28 at the First Universalist Church of Auburn. She was joined by, from left, the Rev. Richard Beal, Unitarian Universalist; the Rev. Rita Moran of the Pagan Community; Rabbi Hillel Katzir, Temple Shalom Synagogue; the Rev. Robert Wolf; Daphne Clement, Durham Quaker Community; the 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. The act symbolized a communal commitment to the LGBTQ community to work for equality. It was also intended to serve as a broader reminder that, as Martin Luther King once said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
