Wellington Interfaith Prayer Vigil for Peace in the Middle East – audio
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)
