Interfaith Service on Peace
First Parish Church in Plymouth is the oldest continuous church in New England and will be the location of a Peace Service on the 5th anniversary of the War in Iraq. Everybody who thinks about, dreams of, or works toward peace is invited to attend and participate.
"I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there"
-Mother Theresa (1910-1997)
