Another of more than 50 Peace Poles created by Fall River organizations was "planted" at St. Luke's Episcopal Church on Warren Street on June 23, 2012. In a brief ceremony held outside of the sanctuary, about 25 Church members and neighbors gathered to dedicate the pole. Readings and prayers for world peace were offered and hymns sung in the service officiated by the Rev. Dr. Susan Lee and Rev. James Hornsby. Rev. Lee first saw a peace pole in a church in Cambodia where she was doing research on Cambodian widows following the war. The pole was designed by Sereiphum Bun, Church member and an art teacher at the William S. Greene Elementary School nearby. The pole was then painted by members of the Church youth group and Sunday School. United Neighbors director Wendy Garf-Lipp, working with the World Peace Prayer Society and United Neighbors sees these "plantings" as part of a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to address gang and youth violence in the city of Fall River.
