The South Nassau Unitarian Universalist Congregation will commemorate Gandhi’s influence and remember the victims, families and survivors of 9/11 by viewing clips of “Gandhi” (1982), sharing short readings , and experiencing a brief guided meditation to honor Gandhi’s call to “Be the change you wish to see.”
