“We need new understandings,” Grebel Dean Marlene Epp said to a large group of witnesses in September, surrounding a small garden at the College. “Just twelve years ago, as homage to the Mennonites’ settler-ancestors, we created this garden with the black walnut tree at the centre. The current plaque says: The Black Walnut Tree marks the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the German Company Tract in 1805. It commemorates the first Pennsylvania German Mennonite settlers in Waterloo Region.

Content would reflect the values of Grebel and the underlying belief that while conflict is inevitable, violence is not.
