Peace Light of Bethlehem
The Berlin Scouting community would like to distribute a special gift
of Peace, the Peace Light flame and symbol, as a present from the Scouts
to the American and international communities in Berlin.
The Peace Light from Bethlehem in Austria was created as a charitable
relief mission for children in need. Since 1986, it has co-operated with
Scouts in many countries allowing the light to travel throughout Europe.
Each year, teh Austrian Scouting community organizes a trip to the Church
of the Nativity in Bethlehem to light the first Peacelight lantern from
the eternal flame burning in the Church Grotto and brings it back to Austria
for distribution it at a service of dedication to delegations from across
Europe. The light has been presented to such dignataries as Pope John
Paul II, Mikhail Gorbatshow and former King Hussain of Jordan.
We invite the All Saints community to join us in receiving the flame and
in becoming the bearers of the “light” and to help us distribute
it to all of our families, friends and neighbors. The main Peace Light
service took place at the Marienkirche in Mitte at 14:30 on December 14,
2008. The Peace Light arrived at All Saints on Sunday, December 21st during
Mass.
