[Guest guest]

Dear Amma Family...

 

This came from a Ba'hai friend...seems a very concrete demonstration of

the intent of the UN Conference...wish that religious and spiritual

leader received as much press as the politicians...hopefully that day

will come...

 

Hers and yours,

Ranjani

 

CLOTH OF MANY COLORS

 

TWENTY-FOUR HOURS THAT WILL CHANGE THE WORLD

The Cloth of Many Colors goes to the UN, the US

Capitol, and the Pentagon. Hundreds of thousands of people

from nearly every country in the world have

contributed small swatches of cloth to be sewn into a peace quilt that

is nearly a mile long. The project, called "Cloth

of Many Colors," is a living prayer, and this September it will be

presented at the United Nations in New York, then

wrapped around the US Capitol in Washington, DC, then

finally the Pentagon. This is one of the most

powerful opportunities we have to create a world based upon the

laws of love rather than the rules of fear. Please

join millions of people for a twenty-four hour peace vigil

beginning 10 am New York time on September 19th

continuing to the same time on September 20th.

 

The project began when James Twyman, renowned

musician and author of the best-selling book Emissary of

Light, was performing at a refugee camp on the

border of Kosovo and Macedonia during the Kosovo war two

years ago. Thirty thousand displaced people were

present when Twyman helped lead a worldwide prayer vigil to

bringing an end to the conflict. That night, in a

dream, he saw those prayers being made into tangible realities,

forming an enormous quilt that would someday be

presented at the United Nations building. That dream is about

to become a reality, and we invite you to be part of

this amazing event. Hundreds of people have taken the small

swatches of fabric and sewn them together into the

Cloth of Many Colors. And yet there has still been no real

marketing or exposure for the project, only the

excitement and energy of people all over the world.

 

The Details: On September 19 at approximately 11:00

am the mile long quilt will be presented during a ceremony

at the UN, part of Millennial Peace Day. Children

from around the world will hold the cloth inside the UN, then

walk with it outside to the UN Rose Garden where

hundreds or even thousands of people will gather to pray. The

World Peace Prayer Society will then present the

flags of every nation of the world using the prayer "May Peace

Prevail on Earth" as each country is named. A

Prayer Shawl from the quilt will then be presented to the wife of

Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the UN, a Nobel

Peace Prize Laureate, and a special shawl to honor John

Denver.

 

The next day, September 20, at approximately 8:30

am, the same cloth will be wrapped around the United States

Capitol building in Washington, DC. Thousands of

people will gather there to hold the quilt as it symbolically

embraces the nation, and all nations. The Cloth of

Many Colors will then be wrapped around members of

Congress who will join in a ceremony of peace and

forgiveness during a special breakfast in their honor.

 

Two days later, on September 22, the Cloth of Many

Colors will be presented at the Pentagon in Washington,

DC by both James Twyman and elders from many Native

American Nations. One of these elders will be Chief

Looking Horse who was present at the UN during the

famed prophecy James Twyman recounted in several

books. It was on April 23rd, 1998 when Twyman,

Gregg Braden and Doreen Virtue sponsored "The Great

Experiment," a prayer vigil that brought millions

from around the world together in prayer. (

book called Praying Peace by James Twyman with Gregg

Braden and Doreen Virtue)

 

Mr. Twyman was at the UN with forty ambassadors when

the prophesy was recounted by Betsy Stang: "Four

years, four months, four weeks and four days ago, a

group of native elders came to the UN to give their vision of

the New World. One of the things they said was that

four years, four months, four weeks and four days later

something would happen at the UN that would change

the world. This is the day these great men saw in their

dreams." We believe that the Cloth of Many Colors

is part of the fulfillment of this prophecy.
