Monks of Walk For Peace in South Carolina today

Today, the monks on the Walk for Peace reached Lexington County, South Carolina. They were met not with suspicion or politics, but with simple humanity: the Sheriffâ€™s Department offered help and kindness.

This insanity must end! People seeing the basic humanity they share with others is our only hope (and living in SC, I have rarely seen anything good in our law enforcement at any level. Let's hope this wasn't a meaningless PR photo opp.).
