Public Silent Quaker Peace Witness (Saturday May 3)

Dublin Monthly Meeting Peace Committee plans to hold another Silent Quaker Peace Witness on Saturday May 3 from 11.30am to 12.30pm, outside the gates of St Stephen’s Green at the top of Grafton St, Dublin. Friends from all Meetings, and their friends, are once again very welcome.

We plan to hold it in the form of a Meeting for Worship as we
stand on the street, with 2 Friends holding a banner which reads
“Quaker Peace Witness” and with two being available with
leaflets to speak with any passer-by who wishes to ask a
question or interact.


This manner of public witness worked well at this same place
in November and in February. Maintaining the silent vigil added
to the solemnity of the witness. We were certainly noticed and
looked at with interest by people passing by on foot and on the
Luas.

We hope that our silent worship will encourage many people to
consider peace and how we may all help to advance it. We
hope that Friends and Attenders from many Meetings, as well as
family members and friends will again come and join us.
