Inter-Religious Prayer Service for Peace in Iraq
Thursday, October 25, 7:00 p.m.
Grace Cathedral 1100 California St. (at Taylor)
San Francisco
Join people from all colors of the religious spectrum as we pray together for peace in Iraq. Since polls show that more than 70% of Americans want an end to this conflict, it is vitally important that this sentiment be visibly expressed. As people of faith, we will pray and we will act.

and march with us...
End The War Now
Saturday, October 27
There will be an inter-religious contingent for the march gathering at the Friends Meeting House (65 Ninth St. between Market and Mission) just 2 blocks from the start of the march (at Civic Center Plaza) and even less from Civic Center BART/Muni. Gather at 11:00 am. We'll leave for Civic Center by about 11:45 to feed-in for the beginning of the march itself. Clergy are encouraged to wear your stolls, collars, or robes. Wear comfortable shoes. The Episcopal contingent will be with us in spirit, but they are convening with Bishop Marc Andrus at 10:00 am at Grace Cathedral, and processing to Civic Center from there. The march ends at Dolores Park, where there will be a rally, and also an interactive or "convergence" area where several groups are working together on installations on different themes for people to engage with in a more sustained and deep way than the short speeches at the rally.
