Christians share their joy
By Yvonne Reynolds
EXETER - A unique, fust-ti
event - a March For Jesus - tak�t
place in Exeter this Saturday.
Christians from all denominations
will be marching along Main Street
to proclaim the one belief that
unites them - Jesus: Saviour of the
World.
The march's purpose is to bring
the joy of the Christian life out
from the . church walls, the home
bible studies, the coffee hours, and
fellowship times, and into the
streets to be shared publicly as a
demonstration of the truth of Jesus'
promise of love, joy, peace and
abundant life to those who follow
Him,
Included in the march will be
banners and streamers, choreo-
graphed praise movements (devo-
tion in droll . 1 . Idngtng and

ebrate their faith:
God -centred marches are not
new. Moses led the first official
march out of Egypt. Joshua headed
a march around the walls of Jeri-
cho. The forerunners of Winds
now decorating church walls were
once carried in public processions.
We commemorate Jesus' trium-
phant entry into Jerusalem on Palm
Sunday.
The first major march in recent
times originated in Britain. Plan-
ners hoped for 5,000 people to •
march through the financial heart
of London in May 1987; 15,000
turned out in pouring rain. The next
year, 60,000 participated. By 1989,
marches were held across England.
The movement grew. In 1991
marches took place in I 1 countries,
including Canada. Over 2,000,000
people from 47 nations participated
in the 1993 March for Jesus;
124,000 Canadians joined in.

George Carey, Archbishop of Can-

streets of Hamilton on June 25.
They were one in spirit with
173,000 Christians from almost
100 centres across Canada who
marched that day.
Last year over 118,000 Canadi-
ans were numbered among
6,000,000 Christians from 84 na-
tions publicly worshipping their
Lord in a Global March For Jesus.
Even more are expected to partici-
pate this year.
The Exeter march was organized
by an interdenominational commit-
tee headed by Harold Devries. All
