Two Minutes of Silence

In the UK it may get lost in the normal 2 minutes silence. But this year I aim to do it in prayer for the world after the fall of the twin towers [I resist "9/11" because it's not on the ninth of November and I fear this dating will change a nice logical system of dating from the smallest unit to the biggest].
Anyway it's about this ...

Now we are faced with a global conflict that is so nebulous, so ill-defined and ill-conceived, that it may never end. All we are told is that there is our side, and there is the other side. That our way of life is at stake, and we must triumph at all costs. As the coffins multiply, we grieve our own losses.
But the horror of neverending war brings with it the chance for a truly global resistance.
And so we will create a new side – the side that wants to understand, the side that seeks out the root causes of our struggle, the side that will triumph over conflict itself.

Maybe you too? There is a commitment form on the page.
Note the symbolic action being proposed

some outward symbol of your commitment may be desirable. Here's one simple suggestion. In black ink, write the numeral 2 on a scrap of white cloth. Then pin it to your clothing. It's a sincere, non-confrontational way to get people asking about your observance, and it will also serve as a proclamation of your allegiance to the new side, the one that struggles to understand rather than to dominate.
