A Special Report on the NCC's Work to Save Fragile 'Bridges' Imperiled by War on Terror
New York City's prominent bridges often have been the focus of heightened security measures since Sept. 11, 2001. A different kind of bridge also is at risk today -- not a physical bridge, but with tangible consequences for human lives. At a time when they are more needed than ever, bridges of understanding and cooperation among diverse peoples, faiths and nations have been severely undermined in the course of the war on terror. As the world observes the third anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, people of faith ponder the sorrows, lessons and implications of that event with an eye toward the future. In a special web report, Sarah Vilankulu takes a look at what the National Council of Churches is doing to assure tomorrows more hopeful for all.
