NEW YORK---The Rev. Paul-Gordon Chandler has brought together Forty-eight artists, including A&O INSPIRE ME! Artist Christina Saj to present in the touring exhibition "Amen: A Prayer for the World." It will be on display at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine though November 23. Chandler, grew up in Senegal, a predominately Muslim country in West Africa and this art show embodies his lifelong mission: to ease the religious and cultural tension by focusing on commonalities rather than trying to overcome differences. With religious extremism and persecution so prevalent and interwoven so thickly with politics, especially in the Middle East, this mission is needed now more than ever, he said.
