P.O.P. “People of Peace”
The Season of Non-Violence begins January 30, 2008
The Gandhi-King-Chavez Season for Non-Violence January 30-April 04, 2008
The first Dinner of Compassion for 2008
Attendees will dine on a simple rice and vegetable meal, and are asked to donate an amount equal to the cost of what they would have spent on the evening meal either at home or at a restaurant. The monies collected will be given to The Pasadena Bad Weather Shelter, a project sponsored by the Ecumenical Council of Pasadena Area Churches. The Bad Weather Shelter provides a hot meal and a good night’s sleep for the homeless during the winter months. It is open continuously during January and February and is weather activated other times. Our guest speaker will be the director of the Shelter.
Los Angeles Takes A Stand for Peace
Los Angeles CA, the second largest city in the United States, remembered Pearl Harbor Day with an emphatic vote for peace as the Los Angeles City Council unanimously voted to support HR 808, proposed legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives to create a cabinet-level U.S. Department of Peace. If established, the Department will work proactively to reduce crime and violence here in the United States and abroad. The resolution now goes to the Mayor for signature.
According to the resolution, introduced by councilmember Bernard C. Parks, "we are now in a new millennium, and the time has come to review age-old challenges with new thinking wherein we can conceive of peace as not simply being the absence of violence, but the active presence of the capacity for a higher evolution of the human awareness, of respect, trust, and integrity."
