Tonight at 7 p.m. an Interfaith Memorial Service will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Spokane to commemorate the 68th anniversary of the Atomic bombing of Hiroshima, followed by the bombing of Nagasaki three days later.
The service will include a showing of the 40-minute documentary film, “Free World,” about an interfaith delegation from Tacoma that traveled to Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the hope of creating a nuclear free world.
After a period of silent meditation, a service, “Reclaiming the Elements,” focusing on how war harms the entire planet, will proceed, according to a press release.
“This solemn occasion is an opportunity for members of the Spokane community to join together to help create a more peaceful future by remembering the past,” the release reads.
