Healing and Worship Group
A group of F/friends have been gathering in the Light on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to hold particular concerns or people; as well as to ground ourselves in the energy and love that we find in these opportunities. Please join us if you are led; we gather at 8:30 a.m. and end at 9:00 a.m on Zoom. You are also welcome to join late or leave early, if your schedule requires it. This is a wonderful way to start the day. To join, use this link.

THE MISTAKE by Michael Mears
Prior to its three-week run off-Broadway in New York City…
When the decision is made to use the atomic bomb on Japan, Leo Szilard, tormented by his role in creating it, must do everything he can to prevent the catastrophe occurring.
When Shigeko Nomura, a young woman living in Hiroshima, survives her city’s destruction she must use every last ounce of energy to reach and rescue her parents.
Two actors, one British, one Japanese, enact the compelling stories of a brilliant Hungarian scientist, a daring American pilot and a devoted Japanese daughter, in this gripping, moving and thought-provoking drama about the ‘mistake’ that launched our nuclear age.
Performed by Riko Nakazono and Michael Mears
Directed by Rosamunde Hutt
★★★★ ‘The past comes alive - a gripping piece of storytelling’ (THE TIMES)
★★★★★ ‘This production received one of the very few standing ovations I have seen at the Edinburgh Fringe. A dramatic treat. (UK THEATRE WEB)
★★★★ ‘A powerful examination of humanity in the wake of Hiroshima.’ (THE LIST)
‘The very personal accounts, particularly the use of diaries from hibakusha, make for a uniquely compelling and gripping production.’ (BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE)
‘A COMPELLING DRAMA OF CHILLING RELEVANCE’ (East Anglian Daily Times)
