The Council of Christians and Jews has produced a liturgy for churches to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, which falls on a Sunday this year.
CCJ project manager the Reverend Patrick Morrow compiled the resource which includes, he said, a “set reading from the Hebrew scriptures, a psalm, an epistle and a Gospel reading, with at least one commentary on each”.
He added that in keeping with the event’s theme of “Communities Together; Build a Bridge,” the readings “will help us all to look at how estrangement — them-and-us thinking — can come about”.
The resource would also illustrate “how, through simple acts of humanity and kindness, we can and must build bridges between our communities.”
