Subtle injustice

By Dorothy Logan Harrisonburg, Va.

Thank you for the fine article, “Peace Art Seeks New Home in Capital”. The way Esther Augsburger’s sculpture was removed and is now lying on its side is very sad. It is another subtle injustice in our society today. Augsburger and I are part of the Shalom Sunday School Class at Park View Mennonite Church in Harrisonburg. We met with excitement on a Sunday afternoon in 1997 to view the intricate piece before it left Harrisonburg and offer a blessing for its witness to all who viewed it.

Now prayers and guidance for a return of “Guns into Plowshares” to a more prominent location in Washington are greatly needed.
