In a special vigil for New Year, spanning the first mainland sunrise on earth to the last, I'll offer points for reflections and point out significant events and anniversaries planned to happen in 2026 as the sun rises, sets and midnight bells ring out in cities, on mountain tops and beside pyramids (and much more) from New Zealand to Alaska. Join me for any time you can on Insight Timer (no app needed) between 1645 UTC on 31 Dec and 2040 UTC on 1 Jan. These extended vigils are always awe inspiring and deeply moving. I hope you may be able to join me for a short while to welcome the miracle of not just a new year, but a new day.

Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki: VIGIIL. EIGHTY YEARS AGO TODAY, an atomic bomb was dropped over the Japanese city of Hiroshima, causing the deaths of an estimated 120,000 people within just four days of the blast. Together with a bomb dropped on Nagasaki 3 days later, which killed at least 73,000 people, this represents the only use of atomic weapons in military conflict against a civilian population. The psychological and health effects of the bombings continue to impact survivors and their descendants, with some experiencing lifelong radiation-related health issues and psychological trauma. Remembrance events are today being held in Japan and the USA. An estimated 100,000 people survived the attacks, with some still alive today.
I plan to mark this sombre anniversary as part of my weekly vigil later today, remembering those who died, suffered lasting ill-health or trauma, and their loved ones. The vigil will be between 2200-0000 UK / 1700-1900 EDT. Please join me if you can for any time you can then at https://insig.ht/jDvcAHNJBVb?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=live_stream_share
