Mennonite church applies

06

The Mennonite church has made an official application to join the Canadian Council of Churches. In a ceremony described by Principal Clerk Stephen Kendall as "a moving ecumenical moment for the Council," the application was welcomed. The Mennonites have a commitment to peace and justice. They will be named full members of the Council later this year. Seen here are Mr. Kendall (far left), Rev. Will Ingram, Sandra Demson (all from the PCC), Rev. Dr. Dan Nighswander, Rev. Peter Krause (the Mennonite Church) and Rev. Karen Hamilton, general secretary of the CCC.
