At a press conference today, Thursday 12 March 2009, the leaders of the Church of Ireland, Roman Catholic, Methodist and Presbyterian Churches, together with the Irish Council of Churches and Evangelical Alliance, asked churches this weekend to offer special prayers for 'our land and our people' and encouraged people to wear a purple ribbon as sign of commitment to working together for good.Aware that people want to show their opposition to what has happened over the last few days and send a clear unambiguous message that we are one united community, the Church Leaders in a pastoral letter (full copy below) ask 'all our churches to offer special prayers for our land and people', recognising that every church and community will naturally find a different way of doing this.
As a more practical sign of expressing revulsion towards violence and the determination of our community to speak with one voice, the leaders are encouraging everyone to wear a purple ribbon or other item of purple clothing. 'Purple is associated with Lenten reflection and is a strong outward symbol of people's commitment to working together for good,' concludes the letter
