Cohousing-L Mailing List: Global Candlelight Vigil

[Pauline Kay (paulinek]

Subject: Global Candlelight Vigil



 Join the wave of candlelight vigils that will circle  the globe this
Sunday.  This is going to be a massive global  event. Already -- just since
Tuesday -- 1,605 vigils have been  scheduled in 77 countries. You can see
what vigils have been  scheduled in your area, and sign up for one. For more
information about the global vigils visit the following website.
          http://www.globalvigil.org

 Spread the word to your friends, have them sign up on the site; we can all
watch as the numbers grow.

Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta are participating in the Global Vigil at
7:00pm Sunday March 16. We will stand together in silence and  send a
message to the security council that we are opposed to a possible war on
Iraq.

 Try a silent vigil - A Silent Presence for Peace.

 If you are interested in participating remember candles, lighters,
something to protect your candle, appropriate for the weather, and thoughts
for peace.

 Beginning in New Zealand, these locally organized candlelight vigils will
circle around the globe.  They'll be beautiful, powerful, and inspiring.
They'll send an eloquent and clear message that the world wants peace.  And
they'll be supported by many religious leaders -- including Archbishop
Desmond Tutu, a Nobel Peace Prize winner -- who will help to articulate the
moral case against war.
 Never before have so many coordinated vigils taken place around the globe.
We have the opportunity on Sunday to show just how the world feels about the
war on Iraq -- but the impact depends on your participation. Take some time
to join millions in countries around the world in a Global  Peace Vigil.

  If you can't make a vigil, you can still join the global
  action on Sunday. Put Christmas lights or anything that shines in your
window on Sunday evening.

planning regular vigils.
