Faith Communities Council of Victoria: Statement on Syrian and Iraqi Humanitarian Criusis

Bhutanese vigil for Nepal - Saturday 16 May 2015, Broadmeadows. Details below.

The Bhutanese Community in Australia (BCA), currently residing in the municipality of Hume, Moreland & Melton, is holding Multifaith Vigil to remember the earthquake victims in Nepal and extend an invitation to communities of faith.

The community is saddened and shocked by the devastating earthquake of 7.8 magnitudes on Saturday 25th April, causing unimaginable loss of lives, property, and destruction that is hard to comprehend. Authorities in Nepal have confirmed over 8,000 deaths and the fate of many more people in collapsed buildings and villages near the quake’s epicentre remains still unaccounted for.

At this difficult time, 

a Multifaith Vigil has been organised 

to remember and pray 

for the lost and recovery of the injured.

Date & Time: 

Saturday, 16th May 2015, from 2:00pm to 3:00pm (sharp)

Venue: 

Hume Global Hume Learning Centre Plaza, 

1093 Pascoe Vale Rd, Broadmeadows

For more information, 

please contact Tila on 0401 565 884 

or Khara 0403 702 595.

We heartily request all the communities 

from every faith and walks of life 

to please join us to support and pray for our brothers and sisters in Nepal, 

and stand hand in hand in solidarity.

Celebrating Easter and the reason for the season

First, let me tender apologies for a long absence.  I have been ill for quite a long time.  I am improving but stamina is an issue. I am having more good days than bad days - so it means that I am unable to do all that I am used to doing.  Now that Easter is here, I hope I can become more enduring and reliable.  The post below comes from my own spiritual blog, Desert.

We have been on pilgrimage for the last six weeks.

A pilgrimage of penitence and remembrance. 

Now the climax is upon us -

The Blessed Triduum or The Great Three Days.

It began last night as we remmembered

and partially re-enacted

the last passover of Jesus of Nazareth

which he celebrated with is friends. 

The photos below were taken by my friend, Ian Hall.
