This service will have unique opportunities for prayer and participation: 

 

STATEMENTS

We will honor the work of religions, denominations, and organizations that have developed a statement on the elimination of nuclear weapons. You are invited to bring a copy of your position paper to present during the service so that it will become part of the blessing section of the service.

 

BLESSINGS

There will be a blessing on the work already done and a call to inspire more discussion and actions on nuclear abolition at the community level.

 

RIBBONS

You will be invited to add your prayer for nuclear abolition on a piece of ribbon. These prayers will create a panel to be linked with The Ribbon International’s panels that went around the Pentagon in 1985.

 

PRAYERS

Your prayers will help empower humanity to achieve the end of nuclear weapons and the dawn of a culture of peace.
