The Pilgrimage and Walk of Remembrance 2008 is a 300-mile walk from Raleigh
NC to Washington, DC. We embark on a spiritual pilgrimage and walk of
remembrance - remembering murder victims and their families, people on death row and
their families, persons executed and their families and calling for
abolition of the death penalty.
We will journey from Central Prison in Raleigh, NC to the Supreme Court in
Washington, DC., passing through cities, towns and rural areas of North
Carolina and Virginia. The Pilgrimage will stop for prayer, public witness and
conversation at locations in North Carolina and Virginia, including murder sites,
execution facilities, houses of faith and governmental sites related to the
death penalty. We will arrive in Washington, DC to join the 15th Annual
_"Starvin´ for Justice" Fast & Vigil to Abolish the Death Penalty_
(http://www.abolitio n.org/starvin15/ Thebasics. html) at the U.S. Supreme Court June 29th -
July 2nd, 2008.
The Pilgrimage begins in Raleigh on June 15th and concludes in Washington,
DC on June 29th.
The walkers are a core group of Raleigh residents and others who join them
along the way. Walkers are asked to embrace the walk´s commitment to
nonviolence, compassion, and the prayerful, contemplative tone of this witness. The
group is organized and led by Nazareth House, a _Catholic Worker_
(http://www.catholic worker.org/) community in Raleigh that works with people on death row
and their families, murder victims and their families and others impacted by
the cycle of violence. While the core spirituality behind this walk is
decidedly Christian, persons of other faith perspectives who embrace the purpose
and values of the Pilgrimage are definitely welcome!
To participate and/or support this Pilgrimage, please contact Scott Bass at
Nazareth House at (919) 231-9752 or send email to nazhouse@att. net.
Thank you for your prayers, your participation, and your support.
