    Westminster Abbey A SERVICE TO MARK THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11 ON AWARENESS SUNDAY Sunday 11th September 2011 6.30 pm Today we commemorate the tragic events in the United States that happened 10 years ago exactly, 11th September 2001, the day universally known as 9/11. Organised terrorists attacks took place in New York, Washington DC, and in Pennsylvania, with two passenger aeroplanes being flown into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre. The structures collapsed and hundreds of innocent people were killed— people of all races, nations, and religions. The loss of life was catastrophic and the aftermath for the survivors traumatic in the extreme. A poignant symbol of the tragedy was the total destruction of St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church at the street level of the World Trade Centre. A lifeline for immigrants arriving from Greece, the church had been a testimony to the American dream, its faith, and its faithfulness to the pledge of liberty and justice for all people. In spite of the horror, the response to unfolding events from both the emergency services and the people of the local community was instant, and many risked their lives for the sake of others. St Paul’s Episcopal Chapel immediately became the beacon of hope for the traumatised people of New York and remains a place of prayer and remembrance as thousands visit the site year after year. A memorial to the events of 9/11 is now being created at the site of the former World Trade Centre, an area now known as ‘Ground Zero’.

  • Coming in November: the Rev
    Coming in November: The Rev. Nadim Nassar Returns to St. Paul’s Church Syrian-born Episcopal priest Nadim Nassar returns to St. Paul’s to preach and teach — and to enlighten us on being Christians in a world with confusion about Islam and Judaism. Nadim has lately been at Trinity Wall Street and on Fox News. At St. Paul’s he will preach and teach on All Saints’ Sunday, November 3. A special Evensong that afternoon is followed by a fundraising dinner for Nadim’s international ministries — see www.awareness-foundation.co.uk. The mission of the organization is to empower Christians everywhere to be a counter force of love and peace to the intolerance and aggression that now prevail in so many of our communities. Nadim is the Director and co-founder of the Awareness Foundation, and co-author of the Awareness Course. He established the Awareness Foundation in 2003 with Bishop Michael Marshall in response to the growing need to study the Christian faith in the context of the 21st century. He is a member of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland’s Inter Faith Theo- logical Advisory Group, the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on International Religious Freedom, and he advises the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. Nadim Nassar lectures, speaks and teaches in the Middle East, Europe and the US; he leads diocesan conferences in the US, UK and Hong Kong. Nadim was born and raised in Lattakia, Syria and he is the only Syrian priest in the Church of England. He has lectured in different universities in London, including the American Intercontinental University where he taught world religions, and London Guildhall University where he developed the ‘Faith and Citizenship’ seminar.

It is being sponsored by the Awareness Foundation whose patron is The Archbishop of Canterbury. The Foundationʼs Director, the Revd Nadim Nassar, said, “Through education, Awareness Sunday can play a part in ending all kinds of violence in the name of religion; it is about loving your neighbour as yourself, whatever their faith or worldview.” He said his hopes were that “Awareness Sunday begins a dialogue that can deepen oneʼs own faith and bring awareness of the faith of others. It is a path to peace”. Nadim Nassar is the only Syrian-born priest in the Church of England and is a frequent voice in the media dealing with the current complex Middle East scenario. This resource has drawn on materials presented on the Foundationʼs web site. To these have been added other resources which were composed and created after 9/11 or to mark anniversaries since then. On 11th September 2011 there will be a service, “Vespers of Peace”, at Westminster Abbey, which will be open to the public.
