Dear Friends,
Fifty people involved with the Holy Week Faith and Resistance retreat
in Washington, D.C., sponsored by Jonah House
http://www.jonahhouse.org/ and the Dorothy Day Catholic Worker, held a
nonviolent witness at the Pentagon early this Good Friday morning.
Dressed in black robes and white masks to symbolize the war dead,
retreatants silently processed to a solemn drumbeat around the south
side of the Pentagon carrying signs reading: Put Away the Sword,
Remember the Victims of War, Abolish All Nuclear Weapons, War Never
Again.
Other signs contained facts about the U.S. nuclear arsenal. As
the main procession entered the designated fenced off "protest zone"
outside the Pentagon Metro Entrance, Pentagon Police arrested eight
people as they prayed around a cross on the sidewalk near the "protest
zone." They were taken to the nearby Navy Annex for processing,
charged with "Disobeying a Lawful Order of a Government Agent" and
were given a June 19 court date. Those arrested were: Susan Crane,
David Ryle, Sr. Margaret McKenna, Molly Brechtel, Brian Hynes, Nancy
Gowen, Bill Frankel-Streit and Art Laffin.
On this Good Friday, as we remember the crucifixion of Jesus, we are
so very mindful of all those who are crucified today by our warmaking
empire. We remember, too, all those who await execution and all who
are crucified to the cross of exploitation, poverty and starvation. We
offer prayers of gratitude for the 14 arrested yesterday at Creech AFB
in Nevada for calling for the immediate disarmament of the Predator
and Reaper Drone Warplanes, as well as for all sisters and brothers
who, this Holy Week, have engaged in acts of nonviolent witness to the
God of Life and Love in resistance to the forces of oppression and
death.
