WACC staff participated in a “Walk for Justice” through downtown Toronto on Good Friday, March 21. The walk was organized by a coalition of local churches and ecumenical organizations.
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.”
