Thank you for your coverage Sudbury religious communities pray for peace (March 26). United Church of Canada members are being asked to place a light blue ribbon outside their homes and churches, signalling that they are peacekeepers. The light blue colour denotes the uniforms worn by United Nations peacekeepers. When we tie a blue ribbon on our home, we are telling our neighbours that the residents of the house are praying for an end to war. Peace begins when we as individuals make decisions about how we want to live, and how to further God's desire of peace and goodwill to all people.
