Thank you to all who walked in the One World Peace Walk. We had over 40 people walk the 4.6 miles between Norwood and Walpole on what was an extremely hot day. We were honored to have Dr. Bacevich speak at the closing ceremony with over 80 people in attendance. Rev. Kostulias gave an inspirational prayer and Barry and Lois lead songs. It was heartening to see so many people come out for the walk and to call on our government to take bold steps to bring peace to the Middle East through non-violent means. We thank all who supported the walk, especially the Blessed Sacrament Social Justice Committee, the United Church Outreach Committee, and the Peace Abbey.
The next peace vigil will be on Saturday, August 18, from 10:00 to 11:00 AM on the Walpole Common across from the post office. Please join us as we stand in witness against the continuing Iraq war.
