Protesting Iraq War,
Over 200 Christian Peace Activists
Arrested at White House

RealAudio

Interview with Katie Barge,
spokeswoman for Faith in Public Life,
conducted by Melinda Tuhus

disobedience

On the weekend preceding the 4th anniversary of President Bush's launch of the U.S. war against Iraq, thousands of Americans gathered in marches, rallies, teach-ins and vigils across the country to call for an end to the war which has claimed the lives of over 3,200 U.S. soldiers and an estimated 600,000 Iraqi civilians. A recent ABC News poll found that most Iraqis blame President Bush and America for the violence in their country.

On March 16, more than 3,000 Christians from 48 states converged on the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., to pray for an end to the Iraq war. Then, most of them walked to Lafayette Park, across the street from the White House, where more than 225 eventually crossed police lines to stand or kneel in prayer, and were subsequently arrested. The Christian Peace Witness was organized by a broad coalition of faith-based groups, as a response to the view held by many around the world that the U.S. war in Iraq is a war waged by Christians.

Between The Lines' Melinda Tuhus spoke with Katie Barge, a spokeswoman for Faith in Public Life, one of the groups that organized the White House protest. She explains the rationale for the action, and what these pro-peace Christians plan to do as the U.S. occupation of Iraq enters its fifth year.

Contact Faith in Public Life at (202) 481-8147 or visit the group's website at www.faithinpubliclife.org More information is also available at www.christianpeacewitness.org
