WACC participates in ecumenical walk
 | |
The walk continues a tradition begun more than 20 years ago in which Christians from diverse churches hold a creative alternative to traditional Good Friday services. Their “Walk for Justice” draws inspiration from the Biblical account of Jesus’ execution as a political criminal. Walkers focus on sites that remind them of people treated unfairly by our society. Participants listen to reflections; watch drama and dance presentations; sing, pray and reflect, then move on in a contemporary “Stations of the Cross.”

Kathmandu, Nepal - For the past year Subaltern Forum, an organization of journalists based in Kathmandu, Nepal, has been producing and broadcasting fortnightly radio programmes on non-violent conflict resolution. Originally planned by the Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ), Subaltern took over when political difficulties intervened. WACC supported the initiative under its small projects programme. Naya Nepal (meaning ‘New Nepal’) offered an exciting mix of news items, commentary and popular music aimed at informing people about political and social ferment in the country. Leading political figures Ram Chandra Pudel (Minister of Peace and Reconstruction), Krishna Pahadi (a human rights activist and leader of a citizens’ movement for democracy and peace), and Bishnu Neupane (leader of a movement for proportionate representation of women in the ‘new’ Nepal) all came to the studio to be interviewed. |
