Our world cries out ceaselessly for the peace that is God’s dream for us. On this August 6 anniversary, when peace was shattered so profoundly by a nuclear weapon, we invite you to join us in hope. During these few twilight hours, we will draw on poets from every age to sustain our longing and stir our resilience. Bring your own poems or your favorite words to this simple, prayerful time of sharing. Allow their beauty and power to hold us in God’s promise. We hope to see you!
