50th Anniversary of SputnikOctober 4, 2007
October 4, 2007 was the 50th anniversary of the launching of the first Earth satellite. October 4 also is the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi, Patron Saint of Ecology and minister of peace in Christ. Open your hearts every October 4 and meditate on actions for peace, with other people around the world, and expect the fruit of peaceful results in the world community.
"Minute for Peace," December 22, 2009
On December 22, just three days before Christmas, 1963, the first "Minute for Peace" was broadcast on radio and TV stations. This came one month after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Wire services featured the "Minute for Peace" in news stories that went around the world. The broadcast included the voice of President Kennedy addressing the United Nations with an urgent plea for peace, and asked each listener to dedicate his thoughts and action to peace.
On June 26, 1965, the twentieth anniversary of the signing of the United Nations charter, a "Minute for Peace" message featuring UN Secretary General U Thant was broadcast on all major U.S. radio networks, by United Nations radio, by networks in other countries, and by international short wave radio.Since then, all over the globe, we who have pledged ourselves as Earth Trustees have taken a minute each December 22 to meditate and pray for peace. Again this year we ask you to join us in this effort to help bring peace.
Can a "Minute for Peace" become a minute of goodwill observed in unison around the world? Will it irresistibly move the leaders of men into paths of peace? Will the hearts and minds of people in all countries be touched by the Holy Spirit with the peace and love that bring men into the Kingdom of God?
What has happened so far seemed utterly impossible at first. Who knows what may happen if we put our faith to work and use the power of the Spirit to solve the problem of the sword?
On December 22, 2009, join with Earth Trustees all over the world in dedicating your hearts during a "Minute for Peace." Let every radio and TV station fill the day with minutes of music and words that inspire peaceful actions. Help us unite as one human family in new understanding and care for this wonderful nest in the stars: Planet Earth, our home.
Let us know your plans for "Minute for Peace Day" so that we may publicize them here.

HOIST THE SAILS!
By John McConnell
Four billion years ago
Our lonely Earth
Set sail on cosmic seas
Guided by an unseen hand
Of nature, God or chance.
As life evolved
Through endles eco-cycles
Man was born, destined
To destroy or enrich
the Precious Ship.
And now his hand
Has seized the tiller
But his ear has not
Yet caught the Captain's
Quiet command.
The sails are down, the ship becalmed,
Its fragil life at stake.
No longer do we ride the gentle swells of
Silent seas and breathe
The fragrant air.
Broken are the rhythms
Of our cyclic plants
And other living things.
But now the Captain speaks again
Our quiet thoughts at last reveal his voice.
"Hoist the sails, Earth Man.
Set them for celestial winds.
Hold the tiler firm,
The course ahead is clear."
Be He nature, God or chance
His voice is heard
And we shall heed
The Captain's quiet command.
– Important Perennial Message from John McConnell –
We urge world leaders to speak out for a Global Minute for Peace. Efforts by world leaders to speak out for this annual event could result in new hope and a new beginning for the whole human family. The date of December 22 can be designated Global Minute for Peace Day, and celebrated worldwide every year.

Global Peace Blitz
The purpose of this Earth Site is to get attention for the Earth Day Idea --the idea that can do the most for people and planet:
All
individuals and institutions have a mutual responsibility to act as Trustees
of Earth, seeking the choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will
eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, foster peaceful progress, awaken
the wonder of life, and realize the best potential for the future of the
human adventure.
"The earth
will continue to regenerate its life sources only as long as we and all the
peoples of the world do our part to conserve its natural resources.
It is a responsibility which every human being shares. Through voluntary
action, each of us can join in building a productive land in harmony with
nature."
President Gerald FordProclaiming March 21st as Earth Day
"EARTH
DAY uses one of humanity’s great discoveries, the discovery of anniversaries
by which, throughout time, human beings have kept their sorrows and their
joys, their victories, their revelations and their obligations alive, for
re-celebration and re-dedication another year, another decade, another century,
another eon. EARTH DAY reminds the people of the world of the need
for continuing care which is vital to Earth’s safety. …EARTH DAY draws
on astronomical phenomena in a new way; using the vernal equinox, the time
when the Sun crosses the equator making night and day of equal length in
all parts of theEarth. To this point in the annual calendar, EARTH
DAY attaches no local or divisive set of symbols, no statement of the truth
or superiority of one way of life over another. But the selection of
the March equinox makes planetary observance of a shared event possible.
"The
vernal equinox calls on all mankind to recognize and respect Earth’s beautiful
systems of balance, between the presence of animals on land, the fish in
the sea, birds in the air, mankind, water, air, and land. Most importantly
there must always be awareness of the actions by people that can disturb
this precious balance."
