On 9 December, the Chaplain-President was honoured to represent the Anglicans of Belgium at the National Commemoration of the victims of genocide, held in the House of Representatives and chaired by the Présidente de la Chambre des Représentants, Mme Eliane Tillieux. A series of speeches, musical interludes and witness-statements reminded the Nation that the world has not been inoculated against genocide by the horror of Auschwitz - far from it: the experiences of Tutsi and moderate Hutu in Rwanda are close to every Belgian's heart, and the list of genocides gets longer with every decade. This is a spur for prayer, witness and action by the Recognised Religions.
