For the last 15 years we have commemorated the atomic bombing of Hiroshima with a community reading of Thomas Merton’s “Original Child Bomb.” We then walk to the Charles River to float origami peace cranes with our wishes for nuclear disarmament and life-saving common sense.
This year we’ll play a 27-minute recording of Merton’s meditation with closed captioning in the Friends Room and on Zoom at 6:00pm followed by a period of personal sharing.
After that, those on- site will then proceed as usual to the river.
