Standing Silence
Silent Action for Justice
Sunday June 25 at 3:30 pm
Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site, 450 Auburn Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30312
(across the street from the King Center)
Join this interfaith group for a brief invocation followed by 20 minutes of silence.
In this sacred silence we recommit ourselves to welcoming strangers, fighting the attitudes and laws that favor one group over another, and defending the institutions so important to our democracy.
We are Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, other faiths and no specific faith, people who consider themselves spiritual or just spirited, all who hunger for an experience beyond the words that barrage us daily.
You are welcome to stand as you are able, or bring stools/folding chairs or mats for seated meditation.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, saddened by the all-too-frequent occurrences of gun violence in the U.S., invites you on a journey of prayer, scripture, stories, and church teachings with this resource, A 60-Day Journey Towards Justice in a Culture of Gun Violence - an ELCA Resource Through daily observances, it calls us to work toward the prevention of gun violence as people of God who strive for justice and peace in all the world. It may be used for individual reflection, group Bible study, adult education sessions, and congregational daily devotions. This began on June 16 but can be used at any time.
