Quakers in Bridport held an international peace vigil as part of the Week of Prayer for World Peace.
The vigil took place on Saturday 18 October in the recently established Peace Garden at Bridport Meeting House in Dorset.
‘We were a handful of ten, with six of us being Quakers. We had three visitors from other churches and one who was a “freer spirit”,’ Bridport Friend Marcia Machin told the Friend.
She added: ‘Though, of course, the half-hour vigil was deep and prayerful, we were disappointed that more were not drawn to attend. Prayers and thoughts were taken from the Week of Prayer for World Peace booklet, from which attenders were encouraged to read aloud, as the Spirit led.’
