James
Twyman's Beloved Community has joined forces with Earthdance
International
to bring you
"Steps for
Peace"
Our goal is to
have 144,000 signatures (in this case electronic signatures) to
take to the
Pope and to the United Nations, letting our leaders and the rest
of the world
know that we want peace on our planet.
James
is leading a peace walk from Assisi to Rome September 12th -
21st
ending with a Papal audience where he, joined by Earthdance
International
founder, Chris Deckker, will present the names of those
asking
for peace to the Pope. The following day they will take the
list
of names to the United Nations peace conference taking place
in
Assisi.
Meanwhile,
Earthdance International is coordinating a global peace
event
taking place in hundreds of cities around the world to dance
and
pray for peace the weekend of September 17th. The highlight
of
the Earthdance International event is a simultaneous
dance-floor
link up, when every event across the world plays the Prayer
for
Peace. Morning in the Australian rainforest, midnight in
London,
and sunrise over the Himalayas, the Prayer for Peace is a
profound
and powerful moment that unifies our intentions for World
peace
and healing.
We
are asking the people of the world to both join us in prayer
on
September 17th and to sign the Declaration of
Interdependence
below. If you are interested in joining the peace walk in
Assisi
or the Earthdance International celebrations, you can click
on
the links below.
How It Works:
Simply
sign the Declaration of Interdependence below by filling out
your
name and e-mail address. Agree to join the global peace
vigil
on September 17th by saying the Prayer for Peace listed
below
the Declaration. Only your name and not your e-mail address
will
be presented to the Pope.
So simple
and yet so very
powerful!
There is great
power in prayer so join us in making the dream of peace a
reality!
Please sign
up and be counted!
We,
the people of planet Earth,
In recognition of the interconnectedness of all life
And the importance of the balance of nature,
Hereby acknowledge our interdependence
And affirm our dedication
To life-serving environmental stewardship,
The fulfilment of universal human needs worldwide,
Economic and social well-being,
And a culture of peace and nonviolence,
To ensure a sustainable and harmonious world
For present and future generations.
(Note:
this list will not be sold or
distributed)
The
Prayer for Peace
"We
are one global family
All colors, All races
One world united.
We pray for peace and the healing of our planet Earth
Peace for all nations.
Peace for our communities.
And peace within ourselves.
As we join as one across the world,
let us connect heart to heart.
Through our diversity we recognize Unity.
Through our compassion we recognize Peace.
Our love is the power to transform our world
Let us send it out
NOW..."
