| Letter from Geneva; Excerpt |
|
| The lanterns made by students in Hiroshima carried a message to the people gathered at |
| this event on August 6 in Geneva. It was an inter-faith discussion and meditation, held in |
| a beautiful small church in the middle of Geneva city. |
| The lanterns brought us messages of hope. They are also symbols of shared action for |
| peace. Their light and the students' messsages invited us to see what small steps we can |
| also take towards getting rid of nuclear weapons. |
| At the event here in Geneva, people of different faiths came together around the lanterns |
| to share hope and a common will for peace. |
| Thank you to Hiroshima Coventry Club for this memorabe and important international |
| initiative. (Jonathan Frerichs) |
