Local Interfaith Council Condemns Antisemitic Violence: BAIC condemns antisemitic violence and calls us to renewed courage in interfaith solidarity and collaboration

Brunswick ME, December 19, 2025
Members of the Brunswick Area Interfaith Council join people of good will from around the world in condemning the antisemitic violence that recently claimed the lives of 15 people in Sydney, Australia. As the faithful gathered for a celebration of Hanukkah in the popular area of Bondi beach, two gunmen transformed the traditional celebration of light into a scene of death and destruction. The impact of those acts were not isolated to Australia, though clearly felt most profoundly in their community; rather, this act of violence touches Jewish people everywhere who have experienced a sharp rise in antisemitic speech and acts.

We know from our own experience how important and life-giving it can be to build and nurture interfaith appreciation and collaboration. Our recent campaign to promote “Love, Peace, Justice - Together” draws on these shared, core values of our various faith traditions, and calls us to work together to make them real.

In an increasingly polarized world in which religion is often used as a wedge to divide, we invite a more engaged and collaborative response, grounded in mutual respect and solidarity. We stand with and support our Jewish member communities and individuals who are feeling increased fear during this time, and we pledge to work together to promote peace and understanding across our differences.

The Brunswick Area Interfaith Council (BAIC) is a non-profit organization committed to fostering understanding, respect and cooperation among diverse faith traditions in the Brunswick area.

Brunswick UMC Community Ofrenda: A Space of Love & Light
October 26 – November 1 (Outdoors, open to all)

Brunswick United Methodist Church invites the entire community to take part in our first outdoor ofrenda — a sacred and colorful altar-space honoring those who have gone before us in love and light.
This shared space is open to everyone, regardless of church membership, background, or faith journey. It is a living altar of remembrance and hope — a place to celebrate lives, honor ancestors, and lift up the names of loved ones who continue to live in our hearts.

You are invited to visit the ofrenda anytime during the week to:
● Add tokens, mementos, offerings, photos, or names of those you wish to remember.
● Write the names of loved ones or your prayers and hopes for the year ahead on the communal altar cloth.

During our All Saints’ Sunday worship service, the Brunswick UMC community will prayerfully lift up all the names and prayers shared on the ofrenda.

Come and be part of this beautiful act of remembrance — a celebration of life, love, and connection that transcends time and tradition.

We had a lovely walking meditation with 30 people gathering on Sept 19 - a beautiful late summer day - to walk in silent meditation, together as a group, on the Bowdoin quad. We had an experience of paying attention – in a spirit of peace and connection – and left chalk messages for others!
