The liturgy for the occasion acknowledged the continuity between Jewish and Christian worship and appropriately chosen for its suitability for those of either faith. It featured sacred choral works – including some from the Jewish tradition – sung by the Winthrop Singers and directed by Dr Nicholas Bannan.
