On March 12, 2009, Union's Students for Peace and Justice led a chapel service for the 6th anniversary of the Iraq War. The group chose to lead the service entirely without spoken words. Oud player Tom Chess began the service with an instrument and sounds traditional to Iraq. A meditation bell guided us through sections of the service as we were invited to meditate on Scripture, pray, and come together as a community around communion. Megan Joiner signed the words of communion as Prof. Barbara Lundblad presided. Meanwhile members of SPJ kneeled under the table, a sign of those whose lives have supported our table.
