2008 Interfaith Peace Witness

On Friday, March 7th in Washington, DC, people from across the United States will attend religious services at over a dozen different houses of worship and centers of faith at noon. Then we will come together for a public witness and demonstration against the war, including inspirational and diverse speakers, opportunities for civil disobedience, and the creation of a "rope of hope."

Introduction

Interfaith Peace Witness 2008 in Washington, D.C. includes Worship in diverse traditions, a mass Public Witness, workshops and other events. This is a faith-based witness. We ask everyone to participate in both a worship service and the Interfaith Peace Witness at the Capitol on Friday.
