Prayers for Peace, Prayers for Unity

 

We invite all people of all faiths to join us on a

spiritual journey.

 

We will begin at Al-Aqsa Mosque (1501 Germantown Ave.

near 3rd and Jefferson St. above Girard Ave.) with a

gathering at 12:30 PM and ritual program starting at

1:00 PM.

 

We will then proceed to St. Peter's Church (5th and

Girard Ave.), to Christ Church (2nd above Market St.),

past Independence Mall (6th and Market St.), 

and then to our final stop at Society Hill Synagogue

(5th and Spruce St.).

 

As we walk we will lament war and the loss of life.

 

We will pray for the safety and freedom of all people.

 

We will embrace hope, not fear.

 

The true pathway to peace is God's desire for love and

justice.

 

Join us to show that peace between people of all

faiths is possible.

 

Let us call out Salaam. Let us call out Shalom.

 

Let us call out Peace in the language of Love.
