THE COMMUNITY CHURCH OF BOSTON
SUNDAY SPEAKERS FORUM presents...

Sunday, December 14th, 2008 at 11:00am

Sr. CLARE CARTER and the FOUNDATION MOVEMENT
"The Three-Month Peace Walk from Hiroshima to Tokyo"

Our guests today participated in a walk from February to May of 2008 in
support of Article 9 in the Japanese Constitution, which renunciates war.
The dramatic walk, originating at Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park, also
preceded a global conference to abolish war held in Tokyo on May 4th.

Sister Clare represented the New England Peace Pagoda, along with six
members of its support community (including John & Carrie Schuchardt). The
two men we know as the Foundation Movement did the entire walk as well. The
Peace Pagoda newsletter described them thusly: "The hip-hop artists from
Boston, Erok and Optimus, have amazed everyone--they walk all day and
perform at night--rain or shine, wherever they are. They form a creative
dynamic with the Japanese young people that is enlivening." Do come; this
should be special!
