CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand - Thousands stood in silence in a Christchurch park on Friday as the names of 50 people shot dead in two mosques were read out at a national memorial service, with speakers calling for the legacy of the tragedy to be a kinder, more tolerant New Zealand.
“Our challenge now is to make the very best of us a daily reality. Because we are not immune to the viruses of hate, of Ardern, who wore a Maori cloak known as a kakahu during the service, said the world had to end the vicious cycle of extremism and that it needed a global effort. “I want a heart that will be full of love and care and full of mercy and will forgive easily, because this heart doesn’t want any more lives to be lost,” he said to applause.
Performers during the ceremony included Yusuf Islam, also known as Cat Stevens, who performed his song “Peace Train”.
