Silent Vigil for Peace

A small gesture in support of peace:

For 2 1/2 years, a silent vigil for peace has taken place each week on the West Lawn of the US Capitol. Started by Quakers, this vigil is not a protest, nor a march, but a non-partisan, ecumenical silent vigil, under the simple banner, "Seek Peace and Pursue It", a quote from Psalms 34.

March 19th is the day before the two-year anniversary of the start to the war in Iraq. The peace activists are hoping to fill the lawn at noon with individuals engaged in a moment of silence. I'll be there. Please join us if you can.
