Candlelight Vigil for Peace - attendee wearing bull's-eye

Approximately 80 people attended the Candlelight Vigil for Peace, held at Trinity & St. Philip's Cathedral on Sunday, December 7, 2014, in response to the Grand Jury decisions in Ferguson, Missouri and Staten Island, New York declining to bring charges in the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

Some attendees wore bull's-eyes on their backs. The Rev. Sandye Wilson of St. Andrew & Holy Communion in South Orange told a reporter/photographer for The Star-Ledger, "We feel like we all are walking around with a target on our backs, especially young black men." (See The Star-Ledger coverage and photo gallery.)

Candlelight Vigil for Peace

Candlelight Vigil for Peace
Sunday, December 7, 2014

The recent Grand Jury decisions in Ferguson, Missouri and Staten Island, New York, declining to bring charges in the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, have exposed across the country a level of anger, fear and frustration that goes back for generations.

The Bishop is inviting people from across the diocese to gather at our Cathedral this Sunday evening for a prayer service to offer up our anger, frustration and fear, to pray together for justice and peace, and to commit ourselves to finding hope for the future.
