Religious leaders of the town of Milton condemned this week-end recent anti-Semitic incidents that occurred there and expressed their regrets to the Jewish community.
Rev. Dana W. Pierce, who spoke on behalf of the Ministers Association of Milton at Temple Shalom, told his audience of Christians and Jews that “while it is a sad thing that incidents of this sort do occur from time to time, they at least furnish the opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to the principles of freedom and human dignity.”
Rev. Pierce declared that “the Christian members of the Town of Milton would want the leaders and the people of the Jewish community to know that we cordially welcome them as co-workers in building the Kingdom of God here in Milton. We deeply regret any expression or attitude that is unworthy and rejoice in the growth and service which Temple Shalom is rendering to our town.”
