Diane Knippers, President of the Institute for Religion and Democracy, reflects on 9-11 (scroll down for her comments, by her picture). She would also be grateful for your prayers, she has been diagnosed with cancer.
I remember 9-11 as a sad, but not overwhelming, event; actually, I think I was more angry than sad, and my anger was mainly directed at those who blamed the US for the attacks, or who danced in the streets at the news.
I was a new Christian at the time, about three months into my new faith walk, and found a foundation of strength from it. In mid-October I went to Washington for the 20th anniversary celebration of IR&D in the Senate Hart Office Building. Imagine my surprise when about a month later I found out that that building was associated with the anthrax attacks which rocked our nation right afterwards. I asked my doctor about it and he told me not to worry about it unless I had the symptoms or was exposed to some tainted mail. No reason to worry.
