In celebration of the upcoming International Day of Peace, we are hosting Greg Reitman’s ROOTED in PEACE – a globally transformative, socially-conscious, environmentally-based film. Reitman’s journey of self-analysis resonates with audiences seeking inner peace in a world full of people dominated by war, affected by global warming or haunted by inner conflict. The film follows him as he speaks to thought leaders around the world having conversations around sustainable development, discussing the challenges of our never-ending wars, and facing the realities of uncertainty placed on the world’s institutions by our current political climate. Reitman’s introspective and socially relevant documentary was most recently screened at the United Nations.

From the US to Costa Rica to India, award-winning filmmaker and environmental activist Greg Reitman traveled to visit such luminaries and activists as Deepak Chopra, music legends Donovan, Mike Love and Pete Seeger, film director David Lynch, Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire, Ted Turner, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and many others. Their common ideas and examples make ROOTED in PEACE an unexpectedly inspirational viewing experience magnified by a stellar soundtrack opening with Pink Floyd’s ‘Time’ and closing with John Lennon’s ‘Love.’

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.

Humanity Rising represents a movement of people and organizations coming together to take counsel on how to leverage the crisis of the current pandemic into an opportunity for human renewal and increased resilience to future challenges. . The coronavirus has been an unprecedented global event. For the first time in history, virtually everyone everywhere has been challenged by the same illness with consequences that have effectively compelled most infected countries into some form of lockdown. People all over the world are having the same feelings about their wellbeing, the same anxieties about survival, and the same questions about how they are going to rebuild beyond the pandemic. This is true whether you are an individual, a company, an organization, or a country. All of us everywhere at every level are in the same conversation. Everything has been disrupted, everything needs to change. Let us take advantage of this and come together to reshape our world in alignment with a positive vision of the future.
