A
very special event took place in Vancouver, Canada on September 6th, 7th
and 8th, 2002. The grounds of
the Vancouver Art Gallery in the heart of downtown core was the
picturesque setting for the “Gathering for Global Peace,”
developed and hosted by Her Holiness Hehpsehboah A. Speakers, music, entertainment and live, interactive radio
were included included in the activities.
With so much media attention concentrating on war, terrorism,
destruction and pain, a global focus on peace was required to help awaken
humanity to the need to break down the barriers of racism, hatred and prejudice.
Nothing less than our future and that of succeeding generations was at
stake and continues to be at stake.
Her Holiness ran a 52-hour, non-stop, marathon internet radio show at the event to connect
people and media
around the world. Broadcast via the "Paltalk Radio Network," the
show helped a message of global peace take root and spawned many of the
peace events and movements which followed in 2003. Marrying audio and
visual internet technology, the event was webcast and camcast, allowing it
to be heard and seen by a huge number of people worldwide.
