By THE VIGILS FOR PEACE
We are glad Mr. Minolfo has noted our Vigils for Peace in the past and are not sure why he no longer sees us on Whiskey Road ("Where Have All the Protesters Gone?" May 18).¬ We are there in heat, cold, rain and snow - as we have been since 2004 and will continue to be, through Republican and Democratic administrations, until these wars are ended. A couple of years ago we moved our vigils from Wednesdays to the first and third Mondays of each month. Perhaps Mr. Minolfo doesn't drive by there on Mondays, which would explain why he no longer sees us.

Twenty Second Gathering of Quakers in South Carolina
at
January 27-29, 2012
Regular Registration
Closes January 13th

A tiny light is kept behind a glass
A shutter swings and squeaks against the wind
The stone is wrapped in vines, and weeds, and rain
At sea, the ships toss and tack, looking out
For light to guide them from the rocks, towards home.
Alone, asleep, the keeper lays, wrapped up
Against the cold, against the storm, eyes tight.
Up the stairs, behind the glass
Shuttered yet warm
The light waits to be tended
Against the storm.
--Peter Lehman

Parker Palmer: What I learned early on from some great teachers is that violence is not just a matter of dropping a bomb on someone or shooting a bullet at them or hitting them in the face. Violence is done whenever we violate the identity and integrity of the other. Violence is done when we demean, marginalize, dismiss, rendering other people irrelevant to our lives or even less than human. Violence is done when we simply don't care or don't look hard enough to evoke our caring for another.

Palmetto Friends Gathering is a fellowship of Quaker meetings in South Carolina that follows the unprogrammed manner of worship. The meetings include Aiken Worship Group, Charleston Monthly Meeting, Columbia Monthly Meeting, Five Rivers Monthly Meeting, and Greenville Monthly Meeting. Unprogrammed meetings traditionally meet in silence until someone in the group rises to speak, usually for a short message. After a period of about an hour, the clerk of the meeting closes the silent worship by welcoming everyone. People then greet each other, announcements are made, and people visit, return home, or continue with subsequent planned activities.
The Gathering meets annually each Spring for a weekend of worship, programs, and fellowship. The location of the gathering moves around the state from year to year.
