Q. If a long tower is in danger what should we do?

A. This picture takes me straight back to watching it on television as the second plane crashed into the Twin Towers on 11 September 2001. I felt so powerless just sitting there as an aircraft full of people was flown into a building full of so many other people.
When I now look at buildings such as Canary Wharf I am always reminded of that moment.. Hopefully, the Police and others with responsibility for security are doing whatever they can to prevent such an awful thing from happening again. But what can we do?? An important thing is to live our lives openly, joyfully and in freedom — not allowing that threat to take us over, make us frightened all the time, nor to treat whole communities as if they might be potential terrorists.
