Vigils Against Violence

Vigils Against Violence is a movement to stand up against the violence of murder in our community. A group gathers at the site of a homicide within the Raleigh city limits, to offer prayers, readings, and reflection. The aim is to reclaim the place of violence and death, and to transform it into a place of prayer and hope. Often the victim's family members or friends are present, so it also becomes a time of support and a sign that the community cares and remembers. Anyone is welcome to participate in the vigils.

Inter Faith Prayer Vigil for Peace in Tibet

There will be a prayer vigil to benefit the religious and human rights of the people of Tibet.  It is hoped that people of good will and people of faith will join us to show support for those Tibetans who have struggled for almost six decades.

The prayer vigil will be held on June 15 at 3:00 pm at Temple Beth Or in Raleigh.  Leaders of numerous faiths are planning the vigil and are participating.  The ongoing restrictions of human and religious rights of one group of people affect all of us.
