As of June 9, 84 Anglican parishes from B.C. to Newfoundland
had expressed a commitment to ring their church bells to raise awareness of an
ongoing national crisis, posting images and updates through social media that
found their way onto the Wall of Commitment at 22days.ca.
The frequency of new posts on the wall, made by using the
hashtag #22Days, testified to the deep feelings that events surrounding the TRC
have evoked among Anglicans across Canada. Many parishes took part in local
versions of closing ceremony activities, such as the Walk for Reconciliation or
the planting of heart gardens to remember children who attended residential
schools. For more highlights of Week 1
of #22days visit
