Sept. 21 is the United Nations’ International Day of Peace and to commemorate the occasion, Grace Episcopal Cathedral, Campus Ministry and Washburn Peace Works are hosting a local gathering for a million minutes of peace.   Students and others are invited to meet the Kuehne Bell Tower on campus at noon for a minute of shared energy: prayer, meditation, or other spiritual action.

The event is part of a worldwide multi-faith effort to emphasize the power of prayer.

“It is our hope,” said Kathy Slawson, Campus Minister for Grace Cathedral, “that this event will cause people to stop for a minute and be very aware of the difference one person can make-beginning with one minute of positive energy and prayer.”
