A video of an interfaith prayer outside a hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, went viral in early 2021. People from diverse communities of faith, who were observing the COVID-19 protocols, were praying for those who were in hospital, and for those who had died because of the pandemic (News24, 10 January 2021). This interfaith solidarity and presence in the middle of a devastating pandemic reminded many viewers of the role of religion and spirituality in human life. Putting aside their religious differences, they came together to be present with those who were lonely, as hospital visits were restricted, and to inspire those who were losing hope. In the video, one patient waved a white cloth, expressing appreciation and acknowledging the initiative. The capacity to transcend religious differences and collaborate is one of the most powerful contributions of the interfaith movement.
