St Andrews Stands with Ukraine
Good morning,
St Andrews Stands with Ukraine
A reminder that this evening (Wednesday 30 March) the University will be supporting the efforts of our town, students and staff, to make our voices heard in a direct response to the call from the President of Ukraine for worldwide rallies and protests against the war. We will gather on Lower College Lawn at 5.15pm where I will welcome people, and we will hear from Ukrainian students, before marching to West Sands. People can go straight to West Sands to meet at 5.45pm. At West Sands we’ll form a single human line, as long as possible, as a visible display of opposition to the war and the aggression of the Russian government. We’ll capture this moment with aerial photography and encourage it to be shared widely online. Wear the blue and yellow of the Ukrainian flag if you can. Everyone taking part will be provided with a replica of the flag, or the sunflower symbol.
Because of this event we have cancelled this evening’s service of Evensong, to allow choir and other musicians, the congregation and chaplains to take part in St Andrews Stands with Ukraine if they wish. Evensong will be held in St Salvator’s Chapel at 5.30 pm this Sunday 3 April, Wednesday 6 April and Wednesday 13 April – the final Evensong of the academic year.
Yours,
Donald
