A Day of Hope and Healing

[Trinity Church] The Parish of Trinity Church in the City of New York is
offering a series of worship services, presentations, concerts and
opportunities for quiet reflection to mark the first anniversary of the
September 11 attacks.

Trinity Church and St Paul's Chapel will offer a program designed to help
both visitors and downtown Manhattan residents and office workers to select
the activity most likely to help them find spiritual meaning on September
11, 2002.

The Centrepiece of the day at Trinity will be a service at 11am, at which
the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Revd George Carey, will preach, and
the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, the Most Revd Frank Griswold,
will officiate. During the service, the Lord Mayor of the City of London,
the Right Hon Michael Oliver, will present Trinity with a bell in memory of
those who died on September 11.

The service will be Choral Evensong, featuring the Trinity Choir. It is
timed to enable the British Broadcasting Corporation's classical music
station to broadcast it live nation-wide in the United Kingdom. American and
British networks have expressed interest in televising live excerpts.
Trinity's Choir will repeat its performance at a 6pm Choral Evensong.

Between 2pm and 4pm, Trinity will offer presentations by leading Wall Street
figures, interspersed with concerts.

St Paul's will host an exhibition honouring the ministry of volunteers to
World Trade Center recovery workers for eight months ending in May of this
year. While the focus at Trinity will be on "proclaiming the truth of God's
grace and love through formal worship, music and the spoken word," the
public has been advised that St Paul's will be a venue for quiet reflection
and prayer through the day.
