Thirty people gathered in the rain in solidarity with the people of Ukraine at noon on Wednesday at St John’s Anglican Church, Moruya.
The Rector, Rev Linda Chapman rang the church bell for peace and freedom. People were invited to light a candle.
The gathering gave a focus for the distress that many are feeling and to witness to the need for peace in the world.
We came together concerned at the suffering caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the threat to freedom and democracy.
We stand for peace in the world and for giving shelter to more refugees in Australia.
Hosted by St John’s Church, the gathering was supported by the Refugee Action Collective Eurobodalla and climate action group 350 Eurobodalla.
