Listen to the voices of children born in places of war
Multifaith Voices for Peace & Justice joins the Palo Alto Friends Meeting and American Muslim Voice in marking the 7th anniversary of the war in Iraq and continued violence throughout the world by sponsoring:
Called in Hope of Peace
Music, Letters from Children & A Quaker Time of Silence
2:00 pm, Sunday, March 21
Lytton Plaza, University Ave. at Emerson in Palo Alto
We offer the voices of children - children who must live in places where bombs and missiles fall, whose families suffer risk and loss from imprisonment, terrorism and denial of basic human rights. Such children have every right to use angry or frightened voices, yet we can hear something more in their words if we listen carefully. And if we listen and act carefully, perhaps we will deserve the faith they have in us that we will guide the world toward a future of peace.
We will begin with singing, followed by reading letters written by children of Palestine, Israel, Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. Then we will settle into the silence of worship as practiced by the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), wherein anyone moved by the Spirit may rise to speak. People from all spiritual backgrounds and walks of life are most welcome to join us.
