That whole business of 'we are all one', I heard that first in church," says the father of two who attends Holy Family Ukrainian Catholic Church. "There's very much a connection between the concept of "we are all one" and what didn't happen in 1919.
"Who are the 'ethnic' groups today who are struggling and discontented in today's culture?" she asks. "Do we have ethic of hospitality, challenging ourselves to learn from other cultures?"
"It's profoundly symbolic that the Ukrainian Catholic playwright writing about [Mike Solokowski] falling on the steps of the city hall... is speaking in what at that time was an Anglo-Saxon domain," says [Danny Schur], who will lead the last of his two-hour walking tours on the religious and social history of the Winnipeg General Strike after his talk.
