9-5-11 Make 9-11 a day of peace...
As the 10th anniversary of 9-11 approaches, the media will be re-playing the events of 10 years ago. Most of us will remember exactly where we were, who we were with, and what we were doing. The images and feelings of that day have made a deep and lasting impression.
As each of us considers how we will acknowledge this anniversary, there's a call from many voices throughout the culture to honor the remembrance of 9-11 with a strengthened commitment to peace--personally, locally, and globally.
We hope you will join with the many individuals and groups in the U.S., and around the world, to stand for peace:
to maintain a resilient, heart-focused commitment to compassion and wisdom in the face of challenges,
to revitalize the vision of a healthy and sustainable future for the world, and
to participate in ending the tragic cycles of violence, fear, and retaliation.
In a world so torn apart by rivalry, anger, and hatred,
we have the privileged vocation to be living signs of love
that can bridge all divisions and heal all wounds.
Henri Nouwen
