Monday14th June this year will mark the fourth anniversary of the Grenfell Tower fire in London, which was a major event in the recent history of the Capital and the entire nation.
The Bishop of Kensington, the Rt Revd Graham Tomlin, has written to churches reminding us that last year, many church bells across the country were rung 72 times at 6.00pm on 14th June.
This national act of remembrance was greatly valued by the Grenfell bereaved and survivors, and they have asked if it might be repeated this year.
"There is a sense that until some measure of justice and closure has been achieved through the Grenfell Public Inquiry, and particularly bearing in mind those who continue to be affected by the Cladding Crisis, it is important to keep the memory of Grenfell in the public consciousness, particularly as public acts of remembrance are still limited this year due to the restrictions on gathering due to the pandemic."
