On zoom: on Good Friday (and on April 20, when a State execution is scheduled to take place in Huntsville, Texas – see 4/20) – To show solidarity with others around the world who are against such executions and other forms of violence in our world. “Thou shalt not kill” (Torah, Exodus 20:13; Deuteronomy 5:17, circa. 500 BCE)—While perhaps most famously found in the Old Testament of the Bible, this basic principle has been evident in all societies throughout human history. It is considered to be a ‘cultural universal’.

– To create more peace in the world around us.
