Injustice Visible Concert

     Injustice happens all over the world. We hear about it on the news; we see it around us.  And still, the injustice I see is small compared to elsewhere in the world.  I have been extraordinarily blessed to have grown up in Canada.  
     Last Friday I attended a fundraising concert for Christian Peacemaker Teams organized by CMU student Brad Langendoen.  This concert featured the bands Alanadale, The Natural, Anthony Sweet, and Del Barber.  Money was being raised to provide CPT with video cameras the team uses to document human rights abuses in places like Columbia, Iraq, Israel, and Palestine.  Through documentation comes greater accountability.  

     The concert was top notch.  It look place in CMU's Laudamus Auditorium, and was very well attended.  All of the bands and many other people behind the scenes volunteered their time to put on the concert, and when I talked with Brad later he told me that the concert had raised over $1200, which was enough to replace the CPT's stolen cameras.
     During the concert, while I was sitting in my pew watching this, I couldn't help being amazed what can happen with vision and determination.  Let this be a lesson to anyone who doubts that they can be a positive force in the world!
