The Peace Pole was presented as a gift to the synod from the Reverend, Dr. Marie T. Cross, retiring Synod Executive. Prior to a service of worship, there was a time of celebration, with a dinner and remarks made by members of the synod and the General Assembly.
In response, Reverend Cross gave thanks for the years of experience and good work done in partnership with the Presbyteries and committed members of the synod. The Peace Pole, with the four languages of the synod (English, Spanish, Cherokee and Korean) stands as a lasting sign of the past and hope for the future. The four grandsons of Ms. Cross (Nick, Luke Jake and Ben Strand of Indianapolis), carried the Peace Pole forward for the presentation. It was planted later at the entry to the synod office by Synod Moderator, Reverend David Bartley, Presbytery of Maumee Valley.

An informal gathering of 12 family members and friends stood in a circle and sang all the “peace songs” we could think of such as, Peace Like a River; Peace, Peace. Then we went around the circle, naming people, place and things for which we wished peace (such as, our nation, the world, the farm).

I came across this Peace Pole when I visited UN University for Peace as part of the Global Alliance for Ministries and Departments of Peace Summit last September in Costa Rica. It was so exciting to stumble upon it there!

January-through April-2010
MANHATTAN — The impact of nonviolence education at Kansas State University over the last decade will be the focus of the 2010 Season of Nonviolence, Jan. 30-April 4. This year’s theme is “For the Public Good.”
“We’ve been working for a decade now to build a safe and equitable campus and community, using proactive, nonviolent strategies, tactics and tools,” said Susan Allen, K-State’s Director of Nonviolence Education Programs. “Students new to the university probably don’t realize that many familiar programs — SafeZone, noontime yoga, the international TV in the K-State Student Union, K-State’s Peace Pole and others — were created by their fellow K-Staters through the Campaign for Nonviolence.”
The observance was started in 1998 and has grown into an international event.
A full listing of events for the Season of Nonviolence is available at http://www.k-state.edu/nonviolence

From Left to Right: Karimah Stauch, Heidi Rautionmaa, Hülya Kytö and Marja Bergen
Karimah Stauch, European Coordinator for the United Religions Initiative (URI) visited Finland last October.
There was a Book Fair in Turku at that time and some members of the URI Community Circle attended to read the “Golden Rule” from their religions.
The event was organized by the Union for Christian Culture.
The flags of symbols were kindly borrowed from Helsinki Community Circle.
The Peace Pole travels with me to events.
All the best,
Heidi Rautionmaa, WPPS Peace Representative in Finland
