About 40 people gathered at the entrance to the City of Spokane Valley Council chambers during the late afternoon on Tuesday. Members of the group Faith Leaders, Leaders of Conscience, along with representatives of the Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and Christian faiths gathered to perform a vigil and mourn the damage done to the City of Spokane Valley's reputation by the recent xenophobic, racist comments and behaviors indulged in by Representative Matt Shea of the 4th Legislative District.

The discussion will be based on the docudrama, "The Sultan and the Saint," which tells the story of Francis of Assisi and the Sultan of Egypt who search for common ground after meeting on a bloody battlefield during the period of Christian-Muslim conflict known as the Crusades.

All citizens must become moral voices for the health of our Spokane River, our region, and our people
