Seminar at The London Mennonite Centre

On Saturday we had our first Autumn Cross-Currents seminar. These are one day seminars that are at the Centre which most have an Anabaptist related topic to them. This one was called: Walking Alongside: Alternative Methods of Nonviolent Accompaniment in Israel/Palestine. Three different organisations sent a representative to talk: 1) Christian Peacemaker Teams 2) Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine Israel & 3) International Solidarity Movement.

Things went very well but I was tired after a day of cooking and serving food. It's good to meet the people putting on the seminars as well as the participants.

John and Naomi Lederach from Goshen, IN are here for three weeks to do a project for the LMC. It's been nice having them here. Naomi was one of my nursing instructors at Hesston College and we had several classes under John at Hesston.

The next few blog entries will be more of our trip to Slovenia.
