Global Candlelight Vigil for Peace on March 16

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Reverend Robert Edgar, and other religious leaders called for candlelight vigils around the world on March 16th to say "Yes to Peace" -- and "No to War" with Iraq. Over 6800 vigils were held in 140 countries.

   On Sunday, March 16 around the world, a wave of light was accompanied by a sense of peace, hope, and commitment. Despite the gathering of darkness and the possible impending war, over 6000 vigils worldwide showed that people everywhere are resolved to wage peace and not war.

    The candlelight vigil at JC Nichols fountain (47th & Main) drew 2500 protesters.  Additionally, there were many other area candlelight vigils at the same time, including vigils at Lee's Summit (80-90 met to stand for peace), Liberty, Kansas City (KS), Platte City, Prairie Village, Lawrence, Leavenworth, Gladstone, and St. Joseph...
