Spiritual communities have been active in Occupy Boston since day
one, and we have a vibrant Faith and Spirituality Group that maintains a
beautiful sacred space tent at our encampment. Here are some of the
activities they and others have organized to date:
Local Christian clergy—including Bishop M. Thomas Shaw of the
Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts and Rev. Charles Adams of Harvard
Divinity School—have offered words of advice and encouragement,
ecumenical prayers, and communion services.
Members of Boston’s Jewish community have offered shabbat and Kol
Nidre services, sounded the shoffer at our marches, and built a sukkot
in Dewey Square.
Members of local Buddhist sanghas have led occupiers in chanting and
meditation, and members of Thich Nhat Hahn’s monastic community gave a
talk and led a mindfulness march.
The Humanist Chaplaincy at Harvard has offered discussion groups and
secular meditations for atheists, agnostics, secular humanists, and
skeptics.
Local Unitarian-Universalist clergy have held interreligious prayer
services, and the Harvard Divinity School Unitarian-Universalist
Ministry to Students (HUUMS) have come to Dewey Square offering
occupiers warm drinks and a listening ear.
A local Sikh community performed a moving chant concert in Dewey Plaza.
Occupiers and supporters from the Pagan, Muslim, Native American,
yoga, New Age, and other traditions have all offered prayers,
meditations, ceremonies, and workshops in Dewey Square.
