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.
