Amsterdam, Netherlands

The SOPP ceremony in Amsterdam was held at the Old Lutheran Church. It began with a Shinto prayer and purification. Participants then learned about the Fuji Declaration, which was read aloud accompanied by live music. This was followed by a Buddhist meditation, a flag ceremony to pray for peace in each country, and then two music and dance performances. The ceremony closed with two meditations accompanied by sounds and music, and then a Christian peace ritual. Included in the event was an exhibit of handmade glass objects and ikebana flower arrangements.
