People, sitting on picnic blankets and on chairs, turned to strangers and embraced, others wiped their partners tears and women wore headscarves to show their solidarity.
Speakers stood on a stage meant for the Bryan Adams concert cancelled a week earlier, and in front of them a sea of people sat in absolute silence as the names of the 50 killed were read out by the Linwood mosque Imam Ibrahim Abdul Halim.

Rob Pieters will no longer be our visual and sound technician although he will continue in his position of Treasurer.
The technical person will need to set up the data projector, if needed, at each meeting, and also the sound system. This is done much easier now that the equipment is all stored in a cupboard in the storeroom right next to our meeting room. Rob will be at most meetings especially at the beginning to aid and assist the person who is prepared to do this important job.
Jan Tedesco will be stepping down as Secretary – this job really needs someone who is computer literate as we contact and communicate with all our speakers by email. The Secretary also posts a notice on Neighbourly each week, organises the Term Programmes to be printed by the Christchurch City Council, sends our Programme to the CWEA and the Bishopdale Community Trust, and of course, takes Minutes at our Committee Meetings and deals with any inwards and outwards communications.
As you can appreciate both these positions are pivotal in the running of our weekly meetings. (Our meetings are held on Friday mornings at Chapel Street Hall, Harewood.) Without them being filled, we won’t be able to carry on.
If you are able and willing to do either of these positions or know of someone who could be, please message me as soon as possible.
Thank you.

For many people, it is time to explore a deeper meaning of life — to know thyself‚ as the ancient philosophers urged. One way to do this is through studying with the Rosicrucian Order.
You will explore how the human mind works, learn self healing techniques, unleash your full creative potential, empower yourself to achieve new goals, practise effective meditation to realise inner peace and harmony, and most importantly, discover your mystical connection with the universe. All this is done through home learning and personal experimentation, although there are local groups to join if you wish.
The Rosicrucian Order AMORC is nonprofit, non-religious, non-political. It is an international organisation — the largest of its kind in the western world — of educators, students and seekers exploring inner wisdom and the meaning of life.
To find out if The Rosicrucian Order can benefit you, go to the website www.amorc.org.au, or for the free, no obligation booklet Mastery Of Life phone 027 552 7777, or email nzrc@amorc.org.au

Celebrate the traditional Thai New Year!
Songkran, the traditional Thai New Year, is celebrated nationwide in Thailand, usually from 13 to 15 April.
One part of the celebration is religious, marked by merit-making at local temples, ceremonial bathing of Buddha images as a symbol of homage, sprinkling parents’ or elders’ palms with a few drops of perfumed water as a demonstration of love and respect, and ceremonies to pay respects to members of our families, and friends, who have passed away.
Other parts of Songkran are fun-filled, with good-natured water throwing, cultural performances, music, dance, sports, and games.
Here in Christchurch, at Wat Buddha Samakhee, we will gather to observe the occasion on Sunday 14 April 2019 with monster Thai food fair, Thai music and dance, lucky dip, and Miss Songkran beauty contest.
The Songkran Festival Organising Committee cordially invites you, your family, and friends, to join with the local Thai community to celebrate Songkran.
When:
14 April 2019
10am to 3pm
Venue:
Thai Buddhist Temple (Wat Buddha Samakhee)
