Another act of public peace

Taryn Haluza-Delay stands at the Ghandi memorial on the way to Edmonton’s city hall on Remembrance Day, Nov. 11, one of more than 130 people who marched in the belief that “to remember is to work for peace.” The peace walk was sponsored by Mennonite Central Committee Alberta and organized by Holyrood Mennonite Church and the Quakers. Lendrum Mennonite Brethren and Edmonton First Mennonite churches supported the event. “I felt very affirmed by that kind of presence,” said Arlene Fuhr, pastor of First Mennonite. “We need to do something that publicly shows that not everyone supports the war effort.”
