The 2002 HIROSHIMA FLAME INTERFAITH PILGRIMAGE wishes to bring together people from all communities, walking with a prayer of hope to end war and destruction. We wish for people in the 21st century to learn that we don't have to live in a divided world, fighting each other, but we can learn to live in harmony with all life. By walking and praying for peace we connect with all peoples and our mother, the earth.
