So after waiting for a couple of weeks, I moved on. The ruthless flu virus was not going to screen Americans for their faith before attacking. I gave the flu shots to the worshipers at Bait-ur-Rehman mosque located in Silver Springs, MD. Free of charge. Free of expectation. Free of faith.
Faith leaders must unite to combat a virus which follows a strict non-discrimination policy. Thus, I will continue to reach out to soup kitchens, churches, and synagogues only as a part of my civic duty.
This year's supply went to the victims of Hurricane Sandy. But if your congregation is interested in faith neutral, free flu shots next year, please let me know. Supplies are limited.
