On March 28, 2011 (Monday) The Peacemakers' Circle participated in an interfaith prayer service for the healing of Japan and the rest of the ailing nations in the world.
Held at the front of the Japan Embassy in Manila, the simple yet very meaningful event was spearheaded by the Association of Major Religious Superiors of the Philippines (AMRSP) in cooperation with partner organizations such as the College of St. Benilde Social Action Center.
A special participation to note was the presence of youth representatives from the Muslim-Christian Youths for Peace and Development (MCYPD) of Tala, Caloocan who brought with them and offered the origami lotuses their young community previously made out of collected prayers for Japan which they have folded into the paper flowers used in the ceremony.
The occasion was also graced by the presence of leaders from different religions who offered prayers from their faith traditions, namely: Mrs. Shakuntala Vaswani (Hindu); Ven. Vincent Taguinod (Buddhist); Baba Surinder Singh (Sikh); Mr. Alan Berguia (Muslim); Mrs. Martha Taylor (Baha'i' Faith); Mrs. Tomomi Shima (Shinji Shumei Kai); and of course the religious sisters from the different Catholic congregations.
Live musical accompaniment were provided by Sanghabi, Ms. Sarah Queblatin and Ms. Nota.
The ceremony was capped-off by candle-lighting.
