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.

Especially for youth ministers and leaders: The Regional Council of Churches is partnering with the Georgia Dept. of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities in SHARE HOPE. Suicide is a leading cause of death in young people. What is the role of the faith community in ministering to troubled young people? Share Hope is an interfaith social media contest to promote the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Because we know that just pausing before acting often stops a suicide attempt, 988 is one important tool in fostering a healthy community. Have a look www.988ga.org/faith. This activity could be a great way to start off the school year with your creative youth group. And, your group could win a $250 Pizza Party--there will be ten winners.
