Faith and Resistance Retreat August 9, 2006
Udvar Hazy Museum, Washington, D.C.

A special guest, an author of a book on the Enola Gay, was speaking to the tour, sharing about the B-29 in general, and the Enola Gay in particular. Several people asked questions and commented on the civilian casulties caused by the atomic bomb that the Enola Gay carried.. As a larger and larger crowd gathered, people from the Faith and Resistance Retreat began reading scripture and offering prayers for nonviolence, disarmament, repentance, justice and peace.
Tom Lewis read scripture, prayed and spoke out for disarmament of our hearts and our nuclear weapons. Eda Uca, Max Obuszewski and about 100 others listened and at times spoke, being a witness, so nearly helpless as to be indispensible.

The museum celebrates the use of the plane and the bomb, while ignoring the human, animal and environmental pain and deathdealing that was a consequence.
