Charleston Unity Church Sunday after noon, I observed an inspirational Peace Pole
erected in an awesome Ceremony led by Rev. Ed Kosac including several Leaders of
other faiths and featuring
children including the minister's and an Imam's
sons. The children delighted putting their handprintsin the fresh concrete around the pole. We finished with a large diverse circle around the pole and children singing the wonderful Unity Peace Song. Dr. Reba Parker and some of her students from the College of Charleston graciously obtained the Peace Pole for the Church. and were there to be part of the ceremony.
| Let There Be Peace On Earth | |

Let there be peace on
Earth, and let it begin with me
Let there be peace on
Earth, the peace that was meant to be
With God as creator,
family all are we
Let us walk with each
other in perfect harmony
Let peace begin with me -- let this be the moment now
With every breath I take,
let this be my joyous vow:
To take each moment and
live each moment in peace eternally
Let there be peace on
Earth and let it begin with me.

The Peace
Pole Project is the official Project of The World Peace Prayer Society. It
started in Japan in 1955 by Masahisa Goi, who decided to dedicate his life to
spreading the message, "May Peace Prevail on Earth" in response to the bombings
on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Peace Poles are handcrafted monuments erected the
world over as international symbols of Peace. Their purpose is to spread the
message "May Peace Prevail on Earth" in the languages of the world.
