The following letter was consensed to by the entire dinner circle
at the Kentucky site of the Rainbow Family Gathering of Living
Light:
A a council was held at the teepee off main circle at 3:30
pm, June 30, 1993. The purpose of the council was to determine
an appropriate response to seeing division within the family.
Various options, all relating to the peace pole, were
discussed. Three options define the field: keeping the peace
pole at the Kentucky gathering's central circle; sending the pole
to Alabama as a sign of love, unity and goodwill; taking the pole
to a "nuetral" site.
The decision reached was to send the pole to the Alabama site
on July 03. This will occur either as the lead in a caravan of
goodwill ambassadors or by someone from Alabama retrieving the
pole. The rainbow sisters and brothers representing the Kentu
cky gathering hope to send a caravan, but welcome Alabama family
(retrieving the pole) if the caravan can't happen.
Genus proposed, & the rest present, agree that: We are one
family, and the pole should spend some time in Alabama before it
passes back through the Kentucky site for the D.C. council and
drum circle on July 11.
