Promoting Communication for Social Change
WACC participates in ecumenical walk
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.”
WACC promotes
communication for social change. It believes that
communication is a basic human right that defines people's
common humanity, strengthens cultures, enables
participation, creates community and challenges tyranny
and oppression.
