Annual World Peace Meditation

Rev. Henderson Bell (Christian-Protestant), Susan Choucroun (Judaism), and Fr. Paisius Altschul (Christian-Orthodox) were among Council members and friends who represented 15 different faiths at the 21st Annual World Peace Meditation Monday, December 31st. The Rime Center hosted the program which included Native American smudging, Tibetan Buddhist chanting and meditation, Christian prayer, devotional music, Sufi dancing and the Muslim "call to prayer." Jim Eller, senior minister at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church, offered a reflection on peace making. E
ller encouraged us to be active peacemakers rather than defining ourselves as against war and militarism. This year's event was endorsed and cosponsored by CRES, Harmony, KC Interfaith Peace Alliance and the American Friends Service Committee -- Kansas City Program and our Council.
