Wellington Interfaith Prayer Vigil for Peace in the Middle East – audio
January 15, 2009
A group of about 100 people from many faiths gathered last night at St Andrew’s on the Terrace in Wellington New Zealand for an Interfaith Prayer Vigil and Candle Lighting for Peace in the Middle East.
It was a very moving ceremony and demonstrated the ability for many people from different faiths, ethnicities and political viewpoints to come together and pray for a common purpose.
Speakers included:
- Tiopira Rauna (LDS, Secretary of the Wellington Regional Interfaith Network)
- Dr Margaret Mayman (Reverand of St Andrew’s on the Terrace)
- Rev Godfrey Nicholson (Vicar of St Peter’s on Willis)
- Sultan Eusuf (Chief Officer, Federation of Islamic Associations)
- Rabbi Johanna Hershenson (Wellington Progressive Jewish Congregation)
- Ratilal Champaneri (President, NZ Indian Central Association)
- Carrie Coddington (Past Secretary, Baha’i Kapiti Network)
- Melanie Gregg and Lime (Soka Gakkai NZ)

Many thanks to the organisers, speakers and all attendees. This was a wonderful and sincere contribution – to Peace. One which is Spiritual and which transcends the cruel, petty and narrow outlooks so evident in the world today. May God Bless these and all genuine Peace efforts and hear the sincere prayers of His children.
