‘Faith Lunch’ and afternoon celebration
In the winter of 2021 and to mark the Mothers’ Union Global Day of Action, the Wakefield Cathedral branch alongside MU’s around the world joined together to raise awareness around the shocking statistics surrounding ‘violence against women’ and the part we can all play in tackling this issue.
A special Prayer Vigil was held at sixteen cathedrals across the UK, including in Wakefield (hosted by the Bishop of Wakefield), followed by an observance of three-minutes of silence on the cathedral steps.
Alongside the service, a display entitled “Souls of our Shoes” was developed, showcasing eighteen pairs of ladies’ shoes and the stories which go with each, giving visitors the chance to ‘walk in their footsteps’.
