 Since 2004, the Progressive Catholic Coalition* has sponsored an inclusive
Catholic Eucharist as peacemakers gather at the gates of Ft. Benning for the
annual School of the Americas (SOA) Watch Vigil. This year as before lots of
folks gave of themselves and their gifts to celebrate the Body of Christ. In
doing so, our spirits are renewed to continue to work for a nonviolent world
where Gospel justice flows. In God’s Loving Presence we are restored as the
Beloved Community to challenge the Powers, to face the consequences of our
witness, whether jail, prison or exclusion. My heartfelt thanks to:
 --Support Memeber Peg Bowen offered artistic and practical suggestions of
flow, color and symbols while Bridget Mary suggested possible Old Testament
readings.
 I selected the Exodus reading about Miriam, first person called prophet in the
Hebrew Bible. In her Song of the Sea she praised God in song and dance with her
tambourine for saving her people from oppression.
 -- Jack Wentland coordinated logistics and communication
 -- Charlie King led us in song as he played nourishing music for our souls
 -- The Dominican sister from Tacoma, WA who read the Old Testament reading:
Exodus: 15: 1-3, 20-21
 -- Paki Weiland, back from the CodePink delegation to Pakistan, danced with
the Book of Gospels and read Luke 18: 1-8
 -- Sr. Megan Rice wrote the homily that I read: a message from her, Greg
Boertje-Obed and Michael Walli of Transform Now Plowshares
 -- Newly-ordained priest Diane Dougherty prepared the table and the
tambourines and gathered folks for the entrance procession and more
 -- WOC’s Kate Conmy and CTA’s Jen Gutermann gave out the worship aides and
steadfastly greeted peacemakers at the PCC table on Ft. Benning Rd.
 -- Support Member Kay Akers made herself available at the liturgy and table
for whatever needed doing: from taking photos to educating folks about ARCWP
 -- Priest Katy Zatsick shook hands with peacemakers at the table, spoke about
our community and carried the ARCWP banner on Ft. Benning Rd. and more
 -- Bob Watkins, in his gentle way, photographed as he has for us for many
years
 -- the Eucharistic ministers, all who gathered to renew each other in the Body
of Christ and those who I have forgotten to name
-- Our ARCWP community for its support and ad in the SOA Watch Vigil Program
 -- the SOA Watch community of peacemakers, especially Bob Graf and Joe
Radoszewski of Milwaukee 
> -- Jesuit Bill Brennan, 92, courageous and prophetic, who led the liturgy with
me
 -- Holy Ones Franciscan Jerry Zawada and Maryknoll Roy Bourgoeis for their
continued support of women priests
