Delicious desserts were set out ready as over 30 members and guests of the Knox United Church Evening Unit arrived for a special meeting in the church basement on Monday, Nov. I. Following the dessert, Louise Bosman introduced Mary Ann Tangney from Hamilton who had spent 12 days in January 2004 with the Christian Peacemaker Team in Iraq. Mary Ann started her talk with an explanation of her work as a community nurse with street youth in Hamilton, and her desire to travel and her interest in working for peace. She told stories of three specific people she had met there, and their acceptance of the work of the Peacemaker teams. She told of one man who had been tortured by the Americans by having his toenails all pulled out. Another was a young American soldier standing guard at a checkpoint who she later found on a webpage as being killed. The third was an American who had served his time, but when ordered to go back refused. He was sentenced to 10 months hard labour and dishonorably discharged. She talked of the poor conditions in Iraq, 10 months after the end of the war. Most have no hydro yet, and over 80 per cent of the men have no jobs to go to. Ms Tanguay showed slides of the conditions in Baghdad, the people and soldiers the Peacemakers met and told of the conversations they had as they talked on the streets. She also told of how conditions in Iraq have now changed, and the Peacemaker teams stay mostly in their apartment, and only go out for food. Many questions were asked and a good discussion followed. She was thanked by Sheila Nixon. Muriel Coultes conducted the worship service with the theme Walking in the Way. Barbara Anderson read the scripture from Deuteronomy 10. Hymns — Walk with Me, and All the Way my Saviour Leads Me were sung. Muriel read the meditation and closed the meeting with prayer and the UCW benediction.
