A Simple Witness for Peace
Faith communities, organizations, families, and individuals are invited to join a shared public witness for peace through the ringing of bells.
On Mondays at 6:00 PM, communities across North Carolina will ring bells for 15 minutes as a visible and audible reminder that:
- Every person is created with inherent worth
- We are called to love our neighbor
- Peace is not passive, it is something we actively seek and emobody
- Unity is stronger than division
This is a simple, non-confrontational, faith-rooted act of shared witness.
If someone asks why the bells are ringing, the answer is simple:
For Peace.
