First Unitarian Church of Dallas
Calling for unity, religious leaders of many faiths gathered at the Majid Al Islam in downtown Dallas on the anniversary of the Sept. 11th attacks. The ministers, including Oak Cliff's Rev. Mark Walz, and First Unitarian Church of Dallas' Ministerial Intern Shams Cohen, met Saturday at Dallas' oldest mosque by invitation of the Muslim Community Center and the Dallas Peace Center.
Diane Jennings of The Dallas Morning News quoted Rev. Walz in two articles on the event: "The Rev. Mark Walz of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Oak Cliff said he was there both as a pastor and as the father of a Marine. 'No one who ascribes to terrorism has the right to claim a religious motivation,' Walz said." "Waltz said he is passionate about battling the tendency to 'demonize each other as human beings.'"
Jonathan Betz reported for WFAA (Channel 8) and Arezow Doost covered the event for CBS (Channel 11) News.
