Book Compilation Signing
J. Farvers, in Shipshewana, Indiana is pleased
to announce a book signing of Redefining Duty,
Alternative Service in the Name of Christ. This book
is a collection of interviews of 22 young men, and in
some cases their wives, who chose alternative service
rather than participation in the military from 1942
through 1970. Their decisions of conscience led them
from Rhode Island to Mississippi and from Greece to
Indonesia.
The stories were compiled by the Kern Road
Mennonite Peace and Justice Committee. Meet several
of the men featured in the book at J. Farvers on Friday,
March 4, 2011 from 2 to 4 p.m. and on Saturday, March
