Interfaith Peace Vigil Marks Sept. 11
Overnight Vigil will precede interfaith peace walk up Clifton Avenue
Graduates from the UC School of Social Work, along with dozens of Cincinnati citizens, will be reaching out to those attending an overnight vigil to remember the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The vigil, Giving Expression to Our Hearts and Voices, will take place from 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 10 through 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 11, at St. Johns Unitarian Universalist Church in Clifton, located at 320 Resor Ave.
The vigil, open to the public, is sponsored by St. Johns Unitarian Universalist Church, Clifton United Methodist Church, and the Peace Village coordinated by UC Social Work Professor Steven Sunderland. The vigil will have music, meditation, interfaith readings, poetry and opportunities to create Posters 4 Peace, an initiative Sunderland first started to promote healing after the Cincinnati riots in 2001.
