Take Part in the "Good Friday" Way of the Cross-Walk for Justice
(the March 28 Compassionate Living Tip from Interfaith Paths to Peace)
https://www.facebook.com/events/591575800871757/
On Good Friday March 29 , 2013, a procession walk and stations of the cross will begin at 9:30 at the Mazzoli Federal Building on 7th and Chestnut and will continue until 11:30 at Founders Square at 5th and Liberty. Shaped by the Catholic tradition of remembering Jesus' final moments in life, the "stations" will be held near a number of locations in the downtown area.
This annual event coincides with the commemoration of Good Friday in the local Catholic Christian community. It is an opportunity to remember and pray for those caught in situations of oppression or suffering today. We believe this is a way to “see” Jesus’ suffering in our world even now, and to challenge ourselves to “be the change we hope to see”, as Mahatma Gandhi once said.
The 1.5 mile walk will stop at 14 locations throughout downtown, reflecting on the war in Iraq, care for the earth, the death penalty, the plight of immigrants/migrant workers, the situation in Israel and Palestine, poverty and homelessness, racism, and many more.
The walk begins at 9:30am at Martin Luther King, Jr. park, between 6th and 7th on Chestnut St. and ends at Founders Square park across the street from the Cathedral of the Assumption at 5th and Muhammad Ali.
Sponsors include: St. William Church, Ascension Church, Casa Latina, Church of the Advent, Church of the Epiphany Social Responsibility, Church of the Good Shepherd, CrossRoads Ministry, Episcopal Churches of Louisville – Beargrass Deanery, Highland Baptist Church’s Mission and Justice Ministry Group, Interfaith Paths to Peace, James Lees Memorial Presbyterian Church, JustFaith Ministries, Kentucky Interfaith Power and Light, Kentuckiana Interfaith Taskforce on Latin America and the Caribbean (KITLAC), Kentucky Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, La Casita, Louisville Committee for Peace in the Middle East, Louisville Fellowship of Reconciliation Louisville Peace Action Community, Mid-Kentucky Presbytery Mission Unit, Occupy Louisville Passionist Earth & Spirit Center, St. Agnes Church, Sisters of Charity of Nazareth, Sowers of Justice Network, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and many others who lend support in solidarity of mission to help create a more just world.
