Holding the Light
An ecumenical service to remember victims and survivors of family and domestic violence. Stand in solidarity with victims and survivors of domestic violence and remember those who have been killed as a result of domestic violence.
We remember:
- Those killed as a result of domestic violence by naming those who are victims in the service, and by tolling the church bell
- Stand in solidarity with victim/survivors by recognizing their pain, and listening to their voices
- Take time to reflect and commit ourselves to addressing the drivers of violence in our own attitudes, communities and contexts
- Take hope in the Christian message that all may be healed and redeemed, while acknowledging the ongoing trauma, suffering and danger experienced by so many in our communities due to the ongoing use of violence and abuse.
