August 6, 2024 - Voices "Spiritual Power" Event Recording
Letter Celebrating 2024 Spiritual Power Event
Dear peacebuilders,
Together with our 30 co-sponsors, we were able to mark this year’s Nuclear Prayer Day with a broader community of people dedicated to working for a better future. We appreciate everyone who participated through your prayers, organizing events, and joining our events—all of which contributed to making the Nuclear Prayer Day a powerful experience for all of us.
If you missed our August 6 Zoom program “Spiritual Power: Hope in Action for Nuclear Weapons Abolition”, or wanted to revisit it, the recording of the event is now available. (Above)
As we also promised, here is the Resources Document we mentioned during the event, highlighting some examples of actions you can take to lift your voice for a world free of nuclear weapons. We welcome your feedback, so please feel free to reach out to us at contact@voices-uri.org.
Thank you for your dedication and commitment to creating a world free of nuclear weapons, and we look forward to working with you in the future!
In solidarity,
Michael Ramos,
On behalf of the Nuclear Prayer Day planning team

In tribute to those impacted by the Hiroshima & Nagasaki atomic bombings (August 6 & 8, 1945), our 2nd Annual Nuclear Prayer Day was held at St. Bartholomew's Church in New York. This video captures the live event. We had a variety of moving prayers and speakers, many of whom are Voice's members. Rev. William E. Swing announced the winner of the 4th Annual Voices Gorbechev/Schultz Legacy Youth Award, Yogev Von Kundra, and explained the award's legacy.
