Really solid roundup here. The peace walk story caught my attention since interfaith movements like this tend to open up dialogue that's hard to find elsewhere. I've seen similar events in my area and they usualy bring together people who otherwise wouldn't interact. Would be intresting to see how local communities respond when the monks arrive.
