The Catholic and Quaker Walking 90 Miles in the Name of Kindness

When Jim Hall and Bob Bruce, who have been best friends for over 50 years, heard about the Buddhist monks who walked for peace earlier this year, they had an idea: What if they did a walk of their own, one that focused on building bridges across faith and politics?

The plan quickly took shape, leading to the kindness walk that the duo have planned Aug. 12-20. 

The nine-day walk will cross nearly 90 miles and several faith communities between Shoreline and Olympia, Wa.
