Responses were extremely encouraging. Many people wrote prayers and messages on the footprints and laid them on the display. These will be brought to our Morpeth gathering on Friday 30th August. The Cathedral staff and volunteers reported that a lot of visitors had seen the display and commented on how inspiring it was. I passed by as a couple of tourists were taking photos of themselves next to it. Two members cried as they read the ‘Free to Be’ card next to the dance shoes: it was just after the tragic Southport event. A heart-felt message read: ‘Don’t let other people stop you from being yourself’. Another said – ‘Carry us when we are weary’. One said ‘Walk on’; another ‘God, do not let me unhold your hands’. Thanks to all who inspired and helped create the display, which clearly touched the hearts of many who saw it.
