From NSKK

Three years after the triple disaster of earthquake, tsunami and nuclear fallout, Nippon Sei Ko Kai (Anglican Church in Japan) are holding memorial services at three locations across the Diocese of Tohoku.

These services will be held on March 11 to commemorate all those who lost their lives, to pray for all those who were affected, and to pray for that people can return to a normal life.

The locations are:

• St. Stephen’s Church in Fukushima-shi - This location was affected by the nuclear plant malfunction.
• Christ Church in Sendai (The Cathedral of Tohoku Diocese)
• Morioka Sei Ko Kai in Morioka-shi - This location was affected by earthquake

These three locations have been chosen because they are symbolic of the three most affected prefectures, namely Miyagi, Fuklushima and Iwate.

The services will be held at 1 PM on March 11, 2014, with a moment of silence at 2:46pm for people to remember the disasters and their impact.

Each church within NSKK has been asked to have similar service.
