Americans For a Department Of Peace in San Diego
took part in the world-wide Global Peace Gathering and Meditation that began at
the sacred site of Glastonbury Tor in England. A luminary peace symbol
was constructed on Moonlight Beach. Just before sunset, about 50 gatherers listened to inspirational readings and songs of
peace. A second gathering took place simultaneously at Ocean Beach
featuring beautiful music and bubbles of peace. Both events inspired peace in
everyone-–attendees and observers alike. Photo courtesy of Tony Ricchiuti.

Americans For a Department Of Peace joined in the International Peace Festival
that was held at the Joan Kroc Institute of Peace and Justice. There were over
50 booths featuring peace-related products and activities. The Kids For Peace
Singers were one of the performers at this event. They welcomed the audience in
their Pledge for Peace. Shortly after noon, a release of white doves took place
which exhilarated the crowds. Photo courtesy of John McNeil.
