Bishop will honour memory of those who died

The Bishop of Ely, Stephen Conway, will join the congregation of All Saints, Meldreth  to pray for peace and to remember the tenth anniversary of 09/11 on Sunday (11th September 10am).

Bishop Conway said today that he will “acknowledge the tenth anniversary of the events of 11th September 2001 and will invite the congregation to remember the people of the United States and to honour the memories of those who died, particularly those who died saving others.”

Bishop Conway met members of the New York Fire Service on a visit to America in 2002 and was profoundly moved by their courage and by their vivid memories of colleagues who had died in the fire.

Prayers for peace, reconciliation and healing will be said in churches across the Diocese of Ely throughout the weekend.
