Minister of National Security Wayne Caines is holding a press briefing this afternoon [May 7] about the upcoming National Day of Peace, which is set to be held on Wednesday, May 9th at the National Sports Centre starting at 5.00pm.
“The aim of the event is to bring the community together to remember those who have been lost through tragic circumstances, and to engage in supportive and healing activities,” the Ministry previously said.

Let’s include peace between all aspects of our Diverse Bermuda Community.
Let’s include peace for our LGBTQ community recently impacted by Preserve Marriage campaigns and our current politicians who created separate categories for all our LGBTQ brothers and sisters seeking marriage equality.
As we comfortably divide ourselves in Bermuda by race, class, sexual orientation, education, gender, age, religion, and physical abilities there will be no peace through acts of community prayer. Peace will come through our willingness to accept difference and to recognize that all human beings are our brothers and sisters.
We must learn to forgive and move beyond our own narrowness (resentments) that come from our deep fear, past injustices and the unknown – lets pray and gather for that type of peace in Bermuda.
Great idea. Well done. But a photo yells a lot.
Why there’s no women and Catholic Church representatives?
This is by far the dumbest initiative um ever seen! What does this accomplish?! NOTHING!!!! What if ya not religious either?!
Ditto @ lmao
As well intentioned as these gatherings are meant to be, they are focused on the wrong people. What you all need to be doing is getting all of the young girls and boys who are affiliated with these types of groups to COME TOGETHER and pray.
Old men need a certain charisma to reach young men . Who amongst these old men got that ? To be able to identify ; to understand the power of youth , the complexity of fatherhood juxtaposed against a childhood of fatherlessness …. Oh these subjects are just to complicated to solve in a generation …. Peace , Flower Power , Namaste
The New Summer of Love
Good luck
