Peace vigil marks September 11 anniversary
Leaders from different faith groups on campus and in
the community will join together in UVic’s Interfaith Chapel
on Sept. 11 to mark the first anniversary of last year’s terrorist
attacks in the United States.
Individual prayers will be offered at half-hour intervals
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. At 7 p.m. UVic United Church chaplain Henri
Lock will facilitate a discussion in the chapel on how members of
the community can work in a practical manner toward peace, both
as individuals and as groups. Members of the public are invited
to both events.
Faith groups represented include Baha’i, Buddhist,
Christian, Jewish Muslim and Wiccan. “We want to remember the
events of September 11, but this is a vigil for peace for all areas
of conflict in the world,” says Capt. Stephen Cameron of the
Salvation Army, a member of the vigil’s organizing committee.
