You are cordially invited to TJMC’s second annual Vigil against mountaintop removal coal mining (MTR) Sunday, Oct. 17, 7:00 p.m. in the sanctuary. The Green Sanctuary Task Force presents this program in witness to the human and ecological devastation that results from l MTR mining, which powers Charlottesville. The evening will include a talk by the Rev. Rose Edington, a UU minister from Charleston, WV; mountain-themed music from The Murphys and Friends and the Charlottesville Women’s Choir; a performance by playwright Adelind Horan from “Cry of the Mountain;” a candle-lighting ceremony and lost mountain roll call. A quilt created from RE children’s drawings, “Why I Love Mountains” will be displayed, along with quilts on loan from members. MTR has so far destroyed 500 Appalachian mountains and continues to pollute headwaters for our entire region. For more information, contact Katie Corish, katiecorish@hotmail.com.
