Friends join Flashmob for peace

Friends took part in a ‘Flashmob for Peace’ in Manchester

Quakers were among some fifty people who took part in a ‘Flashmob for Peace’ in Manchester on 4 June.

The group met outside the Central Library, in St Peter’s Square.

The event, organised by the Manchester Buddhist Centre, highlighted the need to re-establish a Peace Garden in the city centre. The original garden was removed when a second city centre tram line was built.

‘The half-hour meditation attracted a lot of interest from passersby on their way home from work.

It was one of a series of events as we negotiate with the city council to relocate the Messenger of Peace and other statues, plaques and trees,’ organiser Steve Roman informed the Friend.
