24 Hour Vigil for Health and Wholeness

24 Hour Vigil for Health and Wholeness
noon to noon
begins on Monday, April 14th ends on Tuesday April 15th 2008

@ Los Alamos National Laboratory



In terms of your health and wholeness—including water, earth, air, people, plants and creatures—how does the profession of nuclear work impact your community’s spiritual, physical and cultural life?

Why Pray on These Days?
New Mexico and her people face new assaults from uranium mining, the nuclear fuel chain, and the plans for more robust weapons of mass destruction. This is the place to participate in spiritual healing, prayers and wisdom-seeking around this concern. These days are the time when tax payments are due to the IRS, who lets the US congress use the funds for more war and more nuclear weapons.
