ExpandIn various languages, from divergent faiths and denominations, about 100 people, including 23 pastors from local church and ministries in Pasadena and Altadena, held a citywide prayer service for healing and restoration Sunday night amid Los Angeles County’s deadly wildfires.
The Clergy Community Coalition, founded 20 years ago in response to Pasadena’s high crime rate, found itself responding this week to the Eaton Fires. It organized the prayer service that featured prayers, chants and songs from several faith traditions. Mental health professionals and shaman healers also offered their services.
Pastor Mayra Macedo-Nolan, executive director of the coalition of 200 local churches and ministries, said the gathering was a show of unity among faiths and groups, secular and otherwise, that partners with the group. Together, the church leaders pastor 186,000 people.
“It matters when we’re with one another. This fire will change the trajectory of so many stories. What happens next is partly up to us,” she said.
