Scottish churches to remember September 11
Scottish Episcopal churches will be opening their doors on Wednesday to
remember the September 11 attacks and their aftermath. Notable events
include a prayer labyrinth at Edinburgh University's Chaplaincy Centre in
Bristo Square. People will be able to walk through a replica of the
Labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral in France, stopping at set points to pray
and reflect.
Old St Paul's Church in the city centre will also be building on its role as
a centre of prayer after the atrocities. In the immediate aftermath of the
New York attacks last year many American tourists staying at nearby hotels
came to pray at the church. This year, the historic church will be holding
an all-day vigil.
A selection of Episcopal events in the city are listed, along with contact
details for each church, at www.scottishepiscopal.com.
