Expand The Box is a safe and astonishing 3-day learning environment for upgrading traditional thinking and behaviors.
Without our knowing how, the standard thinking and behavior patterns we adopted from our parents, our culture and our education system severely limit both the quality of our relationships and our ability to respond creatively to the opportunities and challenges of life. Expand The Box installs swinging doors through walls that previously appeared to be impenetrable.

Dear Peace-making, Peace-building, and Peace-keeping Friends of All Souls Church and beyond,
For the past 37 years, the Hiroshima/Nagasaki Peace Committee of the National Capital Area has been organizing for the abolition of nuclear weapons and power, and in support of nuclear victims. We believe that if the world is to avoid repeating the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we must strive to keep alive the memory of the bombings. This August we again will commemorate the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
While we will not have our traditionally provided Hibakusha guests from Japan this August, instead, this summer we welcome Reverend William H. Lamar IV, Senior Pastor at Metropolitan AME Church and an activist in the New Poor People’s Campaign. Reverend Lamar was recently arrested at the Supreme Court protesting against unjust voting laws. He will speak about the links between the issues of racism, poverty, militarism, and ecological devastation and the threat of nuclear annihilation. In addition, Reverend Rob Hardies, Senior Minister of All Souls Church will speak to his, and All Souls Church’s activism in relationship with the Japanese Survivors, our Japanese Partnerships, and our congregational activism in nuclear weapons abolition.
Reverend Lamar will be joined by Martin Fleck, program director for the Physicians for Social responsibility Nuclear Weapons Abolition Program and by Diane A’Arrigo, Radioactive Waste Project Director at the Nuclear Information & Resource Service. They will discuss current issues concerning nuclear power and nuclear weapons.
This August, HN-DC leadership team member, John Steinbach, will represent the Hiroshima Nagasaki Peace Committee at the World Conference Against A & H Bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Upon his return, we will host him in discussions of his contemporary findings from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The website of The Hiroshima/Nagasaki Peace Committee of the National Capital Area is located on the Web at John’s speech will be posted on the website.
Please make every effort to attend one of the Commemoration activities, and please forward this announcement as widely as possible.
