Pre-Witness Events: Stay tuned We are planning nonviolence training and other
workshops related to the five affirmations in our Invitation to Participate.

Worship: We begin with ecumenical worship at 7 p.m. on Friday night, March 16,
at the National Cathedral. This worship will be the heart of our Christian
Peace Witness for Iraq, for we know that worship builds up the entire body of
Christ so that we might make a difference in the world because of who Jesus
calls us to be. The liturgy will intentionally embrace the rich variety of
worship experiences available to us across our religious traditions.

Procession: Following our time of worship, there will be a procession down
Massachusetts Avenue to the White House. The walk is approximately two and a
half miles, and bus transportation will be provided for those who desire it.
(Approximate time: 9 to 10:30 p.m.)

Public Witness at the White House: There will be a late-night gathering and
Christian Witness in Lafeyette Park in front of the White House. Plans are
underway, and more information will follow. Come dressed for the weather
(whatever it is) and plan to be with thousands of other Christians like you who
also long for a chance to publicly affirm the core values of our faith.

Post-Witness Events: Stay tunedThere is some talk of organizing and strategy
sessions to be offered by a variety of our partner organizations.
