We are here for silent prayer

We don't wish it to be misunderstood- the Quaker House is a venue for silent prayer in the pursuit of peace, not a meeting point for anti-war activists. This must be some other group that was mentioned as we are here after reaching an understanding with the police that prayer is all we will be doing.
