Blessing of the Scarves
November 2nd, 2006
Here’s an inspirational social justice project from the Interfaith Council of Washington, a URI Cooperation Circle:
“One of the highlights of this year’s (Thanksgiving Interfaith celebration) will be a Blessing of the Scarves for the homeless people. Throughout the community, knitters from all faith and spiritual traditions have hand knit, or gifted yarn to make 1000 scarves to be hand delivered to the homeless people following the program - just in time before the bitter cold of winter hits. This visionary and practical project brings attention to the very real, raw, dangerous, and inexcusable fact that homelessness exists and that it is time to bring an end to it.”
