Pray for Peace Vigil When?: Begins Monday, October 6th, 2018 – 9:00am until the early evening; the vigil will last for 30 days Where?: Dunn Meadow J.P. McDaniel, a member of Trinity Episcopal Church, asked Episcopal Campus Ministry to co-sponsor a Pray for Peace Vigil. Each day, he will set up a tent in the free speech area of Dunn Meadow. The tent will be held down by water jugs. J.P. will spread a blanket outside the tent and place an electric candle on the blanket. The tent will have a banner that invites people to pray for peace. Once people have finished their meditation or prayer, there will be small slips of paper on which people can write their prayers. These prayers will be collected each day and left in the Canterbury House chapel, where they will be incorporated into our Sunday services. J.P. McDaniel describes the Pray for Peace Vigil in this way: “The Pray for Peace vigil is an opportunity to focus on inner and world peace. This should be our constant goal as children of God and citizens of Earth. Accepting and sharing this invitation to simply pause and pray for peace can and will enrich the lives of individuals and the community at large. Amidst all the anger, hatred, division, and violence in our world: we can here and now invoke the Divine Love and receive a blessing, for ourselves and for the world. Pray for Peace!”Episcopal Campus Ministry at IU Canterbury House 719 East 7th Street Biweekly Newsletter Thursday, October 18th, 2018 Upcoming Events |
