Beloved Friends,
As you already know, I will be arriving in Iraq on Friday, October 11 to focus a worldwide prayer vigil to promote a peaceful solution to the conflict with Iraq. The US government believes that there is only one way to
establish peace and security in the world. Together we are called to recognize that there is a force more powerful than our military weapons. It is the force of prayer, and I believe that it is the most powerful force in the universe.
On Monday I returned to my hotel room in San Francisco and found a note that had been placed under the door. I will not go into the details of what was written, only that the four words warned me not to travel to Iraq. Though I don't know who delivered the note, the intent was clear. It reminds me of when I traveled to Baghdad in 1998 and the US State Department called my sponsor in London asking them to relay a message. They were asked to
remind me that traveling to Iraq was illegal, and I would likely be arrested when I returned to the US. I was not arrested, and I will not be dissuaded by these new threats. There is simply too much at risk if we continue on
this perilous path. I ask only that you keep me in your prayers and participate in this vigil.
I would also like to make it clear that I am not in favor of the continued rule of Saddam Hussein in Iraq. I agree that he is a murderous dictator whose main goal is to consolidate the power he stole from his own people. However, I also believe that the direction President Bush is leading us in is wrong and counterproductive. Violence will only lead to more violence, and that is why we are calling on millions around the world to claim the
power of a focused, unified prayer vigil to shift the current tide. We have seen the results of this method many times before, and it is critically important that we build on our successes. Maybe then our leaders will
realize that we stand at the cusp of a new world that operates under new laws. Those laws are compassion and love, and we affirm them NOW!
Please join us in this important effort. Pass this notice to as many people as you can so we will have the support of millions of people ommitted to peaceful action. Once again, the time to join in prayer is:
Saturday, October 12, 1 PM New York time.
And please join me live from Iraq via satellite phone by logging onto http://www.WorldPuja.org/ at the designated time. (WorldPuja is in the process of getting this online now, but please be patient.)
Peace Prevails on Earth,
James Twyman
