PEACE BRIDGE DEDICATED IN RHODE ISLAND
The bridge connecting the towns of Cumberland and Central Falls in Rhode Island has been renamed the ‘Sri Chinmoy Peace Bridge’.
Mayor Francis Stetkiewicz of Cumberland and Mayor Carlos Silva of Central Falls each walked one mile for peace and then met at the bridge for the dedication ceremonies on April 24.
Commenting on the symbolism of the peace bridge, the Master told the two mayors: “With your hearts of magnanimity, you are proving to the world-at-large that oneness-peace is ... a self-evident reality.”
