Bell Ringing for Peace at Holy Spirit
|
Our next door neighbours, Earl, and Aamir and Ahmad from the Garden of Heaven mosque; our MP, Marc Dalton; the Vice-President of the Whonnock Community Association, Bernard; and eight members of Holy Spirit parish, all masked and distanced, rang the steeple bell 102 times on November 11. The neighbourhood, which is usually asked to come and help ring, were instead invited to go outside and listen or tune in online. This has become a significant event on the community calendar. Several stories were shared of wartime courage of participants' family members in seeking peace - as a paratrooper, a resistance worker, a nurse, and shell-shock victims after WWI trenches.
