Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori and the Rt. Rev. John Bryson Chane have joined the U.S. State Department’s 2012 Hours Against Hate campaign.
The State Department says that it “is asking young people around the world to pledge their time to stop hate — to do something for someone who doesn’t look like you, pray like you, or live like you. We are asking the next generation to work together to build a stronger, more tolerant world. No one group can do it alone.”
