The first Peace Altar was consecrated and installed at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City in 1986. The second Table built to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the United Nations in 1995, was made from the same monumental black walnut tree as the first and blessed at the same Cathedral. After serving its mission as a unifying presence at The Hague Appeal for Peace in May, 1999, it will reside in the newly renovated Russian Academy of Art in Moscow to help inspire peace in the new millennium.

A third Table, built and sent to India in 1996, has found a permanent home in the "City of Peace" Auroville, which sprang from the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, where George Nakashima was once a disciple.

It is our belief that through the gifting of concrete symbols of peace-tables formed by nature aspiring to the Divine, worked by human hands and consecrated to peace-universal peace may some day permeate the entire globe.
