These reflections emerged from members’ religious perspectives. They are not definitive, nor intended to determine how others are to think about these tragic events. We sought, back then, to offer ways of bringing our respective traditions to bear on the tragedies that unfolded and continue to do so. We hope and pray for the release of all hostages and a genuine and lasting peace.
