    Thursday 6 August 2015 – Peace Vigil

    In light of recent events in Tunisia, France, Kuwait and across the Middle East, and ten years on from the events of 7/7, Bristol Multi-Faith Forum organised this Peace Vigil and invited people to join with them to Stand Together for Peace. Our Vigil took place from 3.45pm to 5pm on College Green in Bristol, with a one minute silence at 4.30pm. This event was open to all and representatives from faith groups across the City were present, sharing their thoughts and prayers. The Mayor, The Lord Mayor, High Sherriff and Police Commissioner amongst others, also spoke. For more information please contact Lily Khandker at info@bristolmultifaithforum.org.uk or 07789 040267.
