Parihaka Peace Service (Wgtn)
By | Nov 3, 2008
Kia koutou e hoa ma,
Remember, remember the 5th of November – so the saying goes.
Well folks, before you light your crackers this year, come along and remember the amazing story of Parihaka and how the people of this Taranaki village used non violent tactics to protest the forceful capture of their village and land. That’s right, before Gandhi and Martin Luther King, peaceful civil disobedience was alive and well in 1881 Aotearoa.
Come to stand for peace, wherever conflict or injustice is found, and celebrate the inspiring story of Parihaka. May we renew the story in our world as we live lives that resist the proud and give grace to the humble.
Please come, and invite your friends to this unique service. We begin at 7pm, Wednesday 5 November at Island Bay Presbyterian Church. Supper will follow.
Arohanui,
David
