On Sunday 8th November, The Ulster Hall in Belfast was the venue for the annual Northern Ireland Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The Remembrance Day tribute was led by Nigel Moffett whose son Nigel Junior was killed in 2009 while serving in Afghanistan. He spoke of John McCrae's famous poem 'In Flanders Fields' and then recited a moving poem which he wrote himself after his son's death. This was followed by two minutes silence in honour of those who died defending our freedom.
Elder Kearon, Europe Area President, addressed the congregation and encouraged them to put aside the pain of past hurts and move forward, exercising faith in the atonement of Jesus Christ. He thanked civic and church leaders for the work they do in the community and expressed the Church's commitment to work alongside them for the benefit of everyone in the area.
