London Region CND is supporting this event to remember the nuclear bombing of Nagasaki – all welcome.
On 9 August 2024, from 6:30–c. 7:30pm, an ecumenical service organised by Pax Christi (020 8203 4884) will take place at the Holy Apostles Church in Pimlico, in memory of the 81st anniversary of Blessed Franz Jägerstätter’s execution in 1943 for refusing to serve in Hitler’s army.
Following the service, there will be an interfaith Peace Walk to the London Peace Pagoda in Battersea Park for a Lantern-Lighting Ceremony (NOTE: the lanterns will not be floated on the Thames). This will begin when the peace walkers arrive at the Peace Pagoda, to commemorate the 79th Anniversary for victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and all wars.
The ceremony seeks to reflect on the horrors of war in an atomic age, and to pray together for peace and harmony between all peoples and nations.
All are very welcome to join and offer flowers and incense.
For any queries please contact Nipponzan Myohoji on 020 7228 9620.
