Pilgrimage for Peace

The 12th annual Pilgrimage for Peace begins with interfaith groups, community organizations, and individuals of all ages gathering in the circle outside the Heifer building at 1 World Avenue, Little Rock at 2:00pm. After a greeting and a prayer for peace, the pilgrims will peacefully walk about a mile past the Clinton Presidential Library, through Arkansas River Trail, across the Junction Bridge to the Beacon of Peace and Hope at the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum, located at 120 Riverfront Drive, North Little Rock. There, peacemakers will gather around the Beacon for a beautiful Remembrance Service at 3 p.m. to “mourn the violence committed in our community, nation, and world.” Community members of faith and activist organizations will read the names of homicide victims in central Arkansas in the past year. Prayers, poems, and prose promoting peace and nonviolence will be read as well.
