Word from theDirector“There are some events that are so big, so catastrophic, that they plant themselves in the collective humanconsciousness. For some it’s the Moon landing of 1969, for others the day that Kennedy was assassinated, or theassassination of Duke Ferdinand that began the war to end all wars in 1914, or the earthquake of 1999 in Taiwan.Events such as these are tragedies, but they also connect people with others who lived through them or rememberthem. The planes crashing into the World Trade Center towers on September 11th ten years ago is one such event.I, like you probably, have watched many of the documentaries or read the books and articles about this event overthe last couple of weeks. Since workers in New York and specifically the World Trade Center towers are richlymulticultural, the attacks had an impact that was felt all over the world. Japanese, Australians, Malaysians, Brits,South Americans, native New Yorkers - all lost their lives in the events of 9/11.But what I have felt strongly watching and listening to personal accounts of this tragedy is the camaraderie thatdeveloped between people as they all tried to survive. Walking down some ninety floors of a building on the edgeof collapse, there was a slow and orderly movement of people, all helping each other to make the trip down. It mayseem trite to point it out but how different this is from the usual pushing and shoving that happens on railways, inshopping centers, and on city streets….So remember tragedy - we should always remember - but also remember what we felt about each other at thetime and remember the connection we made to each other. And then try to be better people before the next tragedystrikes. Tragedy brings out the best in people it’s true, but why wait till then?”Steven ParkerDirector, Community Services Centerworship directory(For full details of services please refer to taipei Living or contact the church organization directly)agape3F, 21 changchun road, taipei, taiwantel: 2598-1009 (office)csc@agapeicataipei.orgwww.agapeicataipei.organglican episcopal Churchchurch of the good shepherd509 Zhongcheng rd., shilintel: 2873-8104, 2882-2462www.goodshepherd.com.tw/english/Calvary international baptist Church21, yangDe blvd., sec. 2, yangmingshantel: 2831-3458 Fax: 2838-5792Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints5, Lane 183, JinHua streettel: 2321-9195, 0939-687-178City revival Churchb1, 210, ZhongXiao e. rd., sec. 4tel: 8921-8250 Fax: 8921-8272doris.henry@msa.hinet.netfriendship presbyterian Church5, Lane 269, roosevelt rd., sec. 3tel: 2362-1395grace baptist Church90 Xinsheng s. rd., sec. 3tel: 2362-5321 ext. 135Jewish CommunityFor information call ahrony yoram on 0939-763-135living word Churchb1, 304, shiDong road, shilintel: 2834-6549mother of god Catholic Church171 Zhongshan N. rd., sec. 7, tianmutel: 2871-5168 Fax: 2871-7972www.geocities.com/mother_of_god_churchvanaert@iplus.net.twnew apostolic Church2F, No. 5, Lane 39, keelung rd, sec. 2, taipeiwww.nac-taiwan.org, info@nac-taiwan.orgnew life international seventh-dayadventist Church4th Fl.
