Interfaith gathering
After in St. Cuthbert’s Lamb Hall
An interfaith vigil in support of Muslim neighbors was held Sunday at St. Cuthbert’s Anglican Church on Bayview Ave. MP Rob Oliphant tweeted scenes of the vigil attended by Christians, Jews and Muslims. “For me the most moving part was the tolling of the bell, 50 times for those whose lives were lost in the terrorist attack,” he wrote. School Trustee Shelley Laskin tweeted: “Thank you for including me… powerful poignant words by faith leaders… with the lights dimmed, the candles lit and the bells tolling for each of the 50 Muslim victims of the horrific hate crime in Christchurch. I was profoundly moved.”
