GOSHEN, IND.—Goshen College has received a $1 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc., to be used toward developing and implementing summer camps for community youth. The grant will help build sustainable programming over the three-year grant period and beyond.
Peace has been an important value in the lives of Aden and Joanne Bauman and their sons Barry, who passed away in 2016, and Michael. “Peace is a Mennonite thing,” observes Joanne. “Peace is important to our family, and our boys remember that their Uncle Elias was a conscientious objector during [the Second World War],” notes Aden. Recently, the family gave a gift of $100,000 to support the efforts of emerging peacemakers at Conrad Grebel University College in the Kindred Credit Union Centre for Peace Advancement.
