About the Good Friday Walk:
The theme for this year’s Good Friday Walk is- Who Will Carry the Word? To Remember-To Speak-To Act-To imagine. It speaks of 8th day Center’s belief that each of us must bear the responsibility not to forget those who suffer at the hands of dominating and abusive power. This day is called “good” because we believe if we work together it can lead us to remember, to speak, to act, to imagine the many possibilities for transforming unjust systems.
