Pictures from the planting of the Peace Pole at Joy Mennonite Church
By jmb | September 27, 2006
This is from a special Sunday at our church, where we (and many folks from the local peace and justice community) planted a Peace Pole (also see the Wikipedia article on Peace Poles). Our had the message “Let Peace Prevail on Earth” in 4 languages, English, Spanish (since it OKC’s second most spoken language), Cheyenne (in recognition of the native people of this place, and because of the many Mennonites who are Cheyenne) and Arabic (as a way of expressing the brother/sisterhood we share with those that we are told to see as “enemies”).

. . . here are the photos I took at the planting of the Peace Pole on the grounds of Joy Mennonite Church, at the corner of NE 16th & Lincoln (just south of the state capitol building)

What a beautiful thing! And an excellent addition to the atmosphere of OKC. Sorry I couldn’t make it to the ceremony, but it looks like you had a great turnout. Is that a MSM photog I see in one pic? It would be nice to have this event noted in the religion section of the OKlahoman.

Dear James,
That must have been a very good day; that is something people can cherish and remember every time tha
they see it.
Would you please post a list of the anti-war candidates for U.S. House and Senate on your website;
it would be nice to have it on the Green Website in Oklahoma and the National website.
Thank you.

That would be a good idea, but it would be difficult to pull such a list together.
and with regards to Oklahoma US House candiates who are anti-war, I give you a complete list…
Yep, not a one.
