Pray for Peace in Burma
An Interfaith Prayer Gathering
6 October 2007, 7:30PM, near City Hall (Central)
People in Burma have been stricken with poverty and hardship, bus fare increased five-fold as the military government raised fuel price substantially. Out of sympathy and compassion, Buddhist monks in Burma refused the alms from the government officials and expressed their solidarity with the people in peaceful marches. But their non-violence was replied with brutal crackdown by the military.
As witness of the situation in Burma, an interfaith prayer gathering “Pray for Peace in Burma” is organized as an expression of concern and blessing for the well being of the people there. The details are as follow:
