The sailboat, the Golden Rule, a humble package for a heroic message, advocates the abolition of all nuclear weapons as demanded by the visionary Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). Boston welcomed the Golden Rule with a march in honor of the arrival on Sunday, June 18 (Fathers’ Day), from the Seaport wharf to the ironically named Columbus Park along the waterfront. John Bach spoke for Quakers by reminding us of the scriptural message to choose life over death.
Veterans for Peace sponsors the extensive journey of the Golden Rule, and local Quakers among other groups sponsored the welcome. Moderated by Doug Stuart, songs by Pat Scanlon. Click here for more information about the VFP Golden Rule Project.
