Hope and peace in a violent world

Rabbi Matthew Gevirtz, Bishop Mark Beckwith and Imam Deen Shareet appear on a "Faith on Fridays" segment on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." They talk about the aftermath of the Newtown shootings, the times when God transcends the limits of our faith, and how working together the Newark Interfaith Coalition for Hope and Peace has reached out in the wake of the violent gun deaths of young people in their city.

I watched the five minutes MSNBC gave these guys. From their evading what they must have known would be the first question, 'Why do bad things happen to good people?' secularism was given a holiday boost.

I got something entirely different from this, Paul. I thought the fact that these three guys have a real relationship and weren't just talking heads put on a panel due to the needs of the moment really came through. I also thought they both spoke with real insight and passion about the work they thought they could do.
