The Greenwich Fellowship of Clergy held an interfaith candlelight vigil Wednesday evening at Christ Church, bringing residents together for prayer, song, silence, and communal reflection. Above Marek Zabriskie is at the center of the group of over 200 people singing as part of the Interfaith Vigil.
The “Interfaith Candlelight Vigil of Peace and Lament” took place Jan. 28. According to the Fellowship, the gathering was organized “in response to recent events that have left many in our nation feeling unsettled and afraid.”
Participants joined in prayer, music, and moments of silence in what organizers described as a respectful and welcoming environment. The service concluded with attendees singing “Let There Be Peace on Earth” during a candlelit procession. The Fellowship stated that the procession symbolized “our shared faith in God, symbolizing hope, remembrance, and the light we seek to carry into the world.”
Organizers asked attendees to leave politics at the door. The vigil was framed as a peaceful, nonpartisan gathering focused on spiritual support, mutual care, and community connection.
The Greenwich Fellowship of Clergy is an interfaith group representing multiple faith communities in the town. The vigil was open to all members of the public, regardless of religious affiliation.
