August peace service featured several themes

The August peace prayer service wove together several appropriate themes. One was the 60th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Japan, which happened in early August, 1945. Also, in honor of our Native American brothers and sisters, and coinciding with that weekend's powwow, we explored peace from the Native American standpoint. The bond that tied the two together was praying for the earth and the devestation wrought upon it by nuclear weapons. It was a meaningful event - maybe our best peace prayer service yet!
