Take the first step in faith, you don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
As a witness for Peace, our role was to witness in two senses of the word: we SAW, and by our presence we offered affirmation by word or example of a solidarity based on love and faith and the Good News. The word that is much used is "accompaniment." Our contribution was less in our doing than our being-with.
