Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold speaks to the Muslim community

[Episcopal Peace Fellowship] Many Muslims were moved by the words of
Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold on his recent trip to Chicago. Abdul
Mujahid, President of Sound Vision (Television and Multimedia Production),
said that he found hope in the Presiding Bishop's message and was encouraged
that a Christian faith leader would be so supportive of the struggles in the
Middle East.

He interviewed Bishop Griswold in order to get his message out on his web
site, www.soundvision.com, which attracts approximately 10 million visitors
per month. This way a Christian message of reconciliation and hope could be
spread throughout the Muslim community. The Bishop said, "A superservant
always has the welfare of the global community as their first concern rather
than simply their own national interest." This he said in his call for
America to be a superservant, not just a superpower. For the full text of
the interview please visit: www.soundvision.com/info/peace/bishop.asp
