At a non-partisan vigil for peace in the Middle East, held at Tom Davies Square on Oct. 26, Sudbury Interfaith Dialogue’s Dave Nicol brought together religious leaders from across the city, to pray, and to speak of an end to the conflict. The Hamas-run Health Ministry reported Monday that at least 5,087 Palestinians have been killed and 15,270 wounded. In the occupied West Bank, 96 Palestinians have been killed and 1,650 wounded in violence and Israeli raids since Oct. 7.
But in Sudbury, people of many faiths came together at a ceremony opened with remarks from Greater Sudbury Mayor Paul Lefevbre. Sudbury Interfaith Dialogue wanted to make a statement, but struggled to find the right words, said Nichol. Nicol said the group wished to urge governments and the international community to help bring about an end to violence, with justice for everyone. “There is no place for hatred in Sudbury, in our nation or anywhere toward any community,” he said.
