posted on Sept. 13: Spirit of togetherness will heal wound: President George

About 40 people attended an inter-faith service at Moulton Hall this afternoon to commemorate the victims of yesterday's terrorist attacks in the United States.

“We do not know how we will recover from this horrible moment in human history, but we know that we must,” McMaster President Peter George told the gathering.

“We will need to gather all our resources, give all our help, offer all our prayers, to begin to heal from this awful wound. We need one another at all the times of our lives, but never more than when our very hope is threatened.”

There will be another inter-faith service held this afternoon at 4:30 p.m. in Hedden Hall in the Ravine Room.

Binkley United Church at 1570 Main St. W. is holding a prayer service on Thursday at 10 a.m. For more information, call 905-529-0740.
