Of interest to our community: An Open letter from the Kingston Interfaith Community about the Easter Weekend violence in Sri Lanka.... "We write also to testify to our sense that this violence is so unnecessary. The best ethical systems allow human beings to control themselves without the need to control others. Where religious rhetoric is used to justify control of others, we see politics co-opting faith. As a diverse group of people of faith we affirm that our obligation to live without violence against or control of others. "We will gather Wednesday April 24th from 5:30-6 in Kingston’s City Park to tie ribbons of mourning and hope onto the Peace Tree. No matter how often we need to gather, we will not retreat from our efforts to increase cooperation across humankind." Kate Johnson (a Quaker) On behalf of the Kingston Interfaith Community

About the season: Easter  When:The Easter season lasts for 50 days following Easter (PLUS the 7 Sundays during this period), and ends on Pentecost, the birthday of the Christian Church (this year on June 9, 2019). Meaning: Although not certain, "Easter" may originally derive from the Anglo-Saxon word for "spring" (Eostre)- the time of year when Easter occurs. Colour: White or GOLD Event: a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and a reminder that death does not have the final word. It is a time of renewal as we celebrate God's ongoing work in the world through his people.  click here! to find out how our outreach committee can help.
