Sept. 11, 2002--Sept. 11, 2002--The interfaith observance commemorating the first anniversary of the events of Sept. 11, scheduled from 12:30–1:30 p.m., today, in Mitchell Hall, will be broadcast live on the web at http://www.udel.edu/UMS/udlive/pr/remembrance-live.ram

The link will become active at noon and will begin with images of last year’s Ribbon Garden and candlelight vigil—coupled with the solemn tolling of the carillon this morning.

Sponsored by the Religious and Spiritual Life Concerns Caucus and the University Religious Leaders Organization, the service will include liturgy and music.

“This service of remembrance and hope is designed to provide the campus community with the opportunity to gather, to remember and reflect as we continue our paths for healing, hope and peace,” the Rev. Laura Lee Wilson, chair of the caucus, said.

The interfaith service will include opening remarks by University President David P. Roselle, musical selections performed by University musicians, and readings from students, faculty and religious leaders representing the diverse faith communities at UD. A montage of photographs that show how the world has changed in the past year will be shown, and the program will conclude with the singing of “Let There Be Peace on Earth.”

Assembled by Ralph Begleiter, Edward and Elizabeth G. Rosenberg Professor of Communication at UD, the photo montage follows the year’s events, beginning with images depicting the immediate shock in the aftermath of the bombings, followed by photos of the outpouring of sympathy around the world, the U.S. reaction to the bombings and the war in Afghanistan, world reaction to the war, the replacement of the Afghan government, the taking of Kabul and the rebuilding of that country.
