LAGUNA WOODS, Calif.—At the Lutheran Church of the Cross, local faith leaders from Christianity, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, and Islam, gathered Dec. 21 to pay homage to the hundreds of homeless individuals who died in Orange County in 2022, starting with singing “Amazing Grace.”
“We remember with dignity and respect the names of those who died on the streets while experiencing homelessness,” Pastor Steven Sheldon of the church said from the pulpit overlooking more than 100 attendees and volunteers.
